(General Seminar) φ-free Submanifolds and Convexity in Calibrated ManifoldsF. R. Harvey and H. B. Lawson, Jr. canonically generalized the classical plurisubharmonic functions and convexity in complex geometry to all calibrated manifolds, and called them φ-plurisubharmonic functions and φ-convexity on a calibrated manifold (X,φ). One of the techniques to construct enormous families of strictly φ-convex domains with different topological types is using φ-free submanifolds, analogues of totally real submanifolds. In this talk, I will speak about the topology of φ-free submanifolds for well-known calibrations in Quaternion-Kähler, G2 and Spin(7) manifolds and explain some recent results about φ-free embeddings, which use h-principle.(notes) - Thu, Nov 28 and Dec 5 and Dec 12 at 13:40.

Quantum Groups 15More basic category theory.
Finish proof that an equivalence of categories is an essentially surjective fully faithful functor. Examples: finite sets and set iso, is equivalent to integers and symmetric groups; finite dimensional vector spaces and v.s. iso, is equivalent to integers and GLn. Define adjoint functors and prove that adjoint functors define natural bijections of Hom. - Thu, Mar 7 at 13:40. Murat Baris Paksoy (Humboldt Universitĉt zu Berlin)
Derived Ramanujan Primes R'nWe study the Ramanujan-prime-counting function along the lines of Ramanujan's original work on Bertrand's Postulate. We show that the number of Ramanujan primes between x and 2x tends to infinity with x. This analysis leads us to define a new sequence of prime numbers, which we call derived Ramanujan primes. For n greater than or equal to 1 we define the nth derived Ramanujan prime as the smallest positive integer with the property that if x is greater than or equal to the nth derived Ramanujan prime, then the number of Ramanujan primes in the interval from x to x/2 is greater than or equal to n. As an application of the existence of derived Ramanujan primes, we prove analogues for Ramanujan primes of Richert's Theorem and Greenfield's Theorem for primes. We give some new inequalities for both the prime-counting function and for the Ramanujan-prime-counting function. Following the recent works of Sondow and Laishram on the bounds of Ramanujan primes, we analyze the bounds of derived Ramanujan primes. Finally, we give another proof of the theorem of Amersi, Beckwith, Miller, Ronan and Sondow.

Quantum GroupsQuantum groups are like the group-like objects in noncommutative geometry. This lecture begins a series explaining quantum groups and applications to knot theory. Today is basic definitions and notation: algebra, coalgebra, bialgebra, Hopf algebra. We will show that the involution of a Hopf algebra is unique and acts like an inverse (in particular(notes)S(gh) = S(h)S(g) ). - Thu, Oct. 4 at 13:40. Anar Dosi (METU-NCC)

Noncommutative Localization for Filtered RingsWe had a series of talks in the last Bahar semester on an operator approach to noncommutative algebraic geometry. It was proposed a new approach to noncommutative spectra of Lie-complete associative rings, which is based on operator theory philosophy. The noncommutative rings are represented as linear (unbounded) operators over the quantum domains rather than regular functions (or global sections) over schemes as classically done in the commutative case. Commutative functional rings are replaced by operator rings, whose localizations are reduced to the operators over invariant submodules. As the main result we proved that the formal spectrum Spf(A) of a Lie-operator ring A over the domain X is the Kolmogorov completion of X. Moreover, each Lie-complete ring A turns out to be a Lie-operator ring A over the formal inflation X of Spf(A) up to a topological isomorphism. Today we talk about a certain part of this construction, namely on noncommutative localization for filtered rings. It has an independent interest and shows us how the topological completions can stand for noncommutative algebraic operations.

The Inverse Bernstein Inequality for Polynomials with Roots on the Unit CircleTheorem 1 Let b be a separable polynomial of degree n with roots on the unit circle T, mb be the smalest local maximum of |b| on T and Mb be the greatest local maximum. Then for every z in T, n/2 mb \le |b'| \le n/2 Mb.
The proof is based on logarithmic potential theory on the complex plane. - Wed, May 23 at 15:40. Kürşat Aker (Feza Gursey)

Öklid Algoritması, Çarklar ve Sınıf GrupoidiFarkli uzunlukta iki çubuk alalim. Bu çubuklarin uzunluklarini kiyaslamanin dogal yolu, Öklid algoritmasini uygulamaktir, sonuç olarak bir sürekli kesir elde ederiz. Öklid algoritmasini cebirsel islemlere kodlanmasi, modüler grubu verir. (Özel bazi sartlari tasiyan kiyaslamalarin kodlamasi kalandas modüler altgruplari verir). Bu cebirsel islemler, hiperbolik düzlemin bir dönüsüm grubu olarak, veya bu uzayin içinde oturan sonsuz bir agacin otomorfizmleri olarak yorumlanabilir. Hiperbolik düzlemi (agaci), modüler grubun sonsuz mertebeli tek bir elemaninin ürettigi Z-altgruba bölecek olursak, halkalari (taban kenarli çarklari) elde ederiz. (Genel olarak agacin modüler grubun bir altgrubuna bölümü bir kurdela çizge verir). Bu Z-altgruplara ayni zamanda birer belirsiz ikili kuadratik form (bikf) tekabül eder. Z-altgruplarin modüler gruptaki eslenik siniflarinaysa bikf'lerin bildik modüler grubu etkisi altindaki denklik siniflari tekabül eder. Bir çarka "takla (flip)" attirarak, yeni bir çark elde edebiliriz. Soru: Nesneleri çarklar(=bikf'ler) olan ve morfizmleri taklalar tarafindan üretilen "sinif grupoid"inin temel grubu nedir? - April 12. Meral Tosun (Galatasaray U.)

Noncommutative algebraic geometry (continued)(Postponed to March 6) In this talk we investigate noncommutative schemes of Lie-complete associative rings based on their operator realizations over quantum domains. The main result asserts that the formal spectrum Spf(A) of an Lie-operator ring A over the domain X is the Kolmogorov completion of X. Moreover, each Lie-complete ring A turns out to be an Lie-operator ring over a certain domain. - Febrary 23 at 15:40. Koray Karabina (Waterloo)
Efficient Arithmetic and Compact Representations in Finite FieldsThe efficiency of many cryptographic protocols relies on fast arithmetic and compact representation of the underlying group. I will present my recent work on obtaining compressed represenations for finite field elements and speeding up certain finite field operations. I will compare these techniques with the previously-known methods, discuss some applications to pairing-based cryptography, and conclude by stating some open problems and directions for future research. - February 21 at 14:40.

Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry Seminar Series (lecture 3) (lecture 4)Noncommutative affine schemes, regularity and the weak operator topology. (ongoing seminar series)
We propose an operator approach to noncommutative affine schemes based on Kapranov's framework of NC-schemes for NC-complete algebras (Noncommutative geometry based on commutator relations, J. Reine Angwer. Math. (505) (1998) 73-118).
It turns out that NC-schemes unifies many ideas of noncommutative spectral theory, operator theory and the theory of topological radicals. It seems we can easily explain many Grothendieck's extraordinary tricks done in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry in terms of the operator rings. The theory presents an interest even in the commutative case, but appearance of the weak operator topology is something new in the noncommutative case, which is mainly due to Kapranov's ideas. Many assertions have not checked out yet up to the end. Therefore many mistakes could be. All remarks and critics are welcome. - Fridays at 15:40.

"Hyperbolicity of Geodesic Flows"Each Riemannian manifold hosts a natural flow in its unit tangent bundle, the so callled geodesic flow. A general result of D. V. Anosov guarantees that the geodesic flow of a Riemannian manifold of negative sectional curvature is hyperbolic, a property that heralds complicated dynamical behaviour. I will elaborate the well-known instance of the Poincare half-plane whereof the unit tangent bundle can be identified with PSL(R, 2). The exact conditions under which the geodesic flow of a Riemannian manifold is hyperbolic are unknown. I conjecture that these are topological (even homological) rather than geometric conditions. - Wednesday, January 11 at 10:30.

"Introduction to Modal and Temporal Logic"In this talk (intended for a audience with mathematical, computer science, or philosophy background, with a basic knowledge of propositional and first-order logics) I intend to present modal logics as a subject. We will start from basic definitions and intended semantics, progressively going towards a precise notion of truth in modal logic, and, on the side, of formal deduction. - October 13.

"Images of Additive Polynomials"Images of additive polynomials in one variable exhibit representative behavior for all polynomials over valued fields of positive characteristic. It was conjectured that this could be carried out to polynomials in several variables. I will present a new class of valued fields which are extremal with respect to additive polynomials(in several variables) but they are not extremal with respect to every polynomial, thus disproving the conjecture.

"Calibrated Geometries" (notes)Calibrated Geometries were introduced by Harvey and Lawson in their foundational paper in 1982. These are the geometries of minimal submanifolds which are determined by a form φ on a Riemannian manifold called calibration. I will talk about the well-known examples of calibrated submanifolds, especially coming from special holonomy. - March 25.
Ibrahim Unal
(METU-NCC)
"Calibrated Geometries II"We continue our discussion of calibrated manifolds. We introduce holonomy groups, discuss Berger's (1950's) classification of holonomy groups, and the natural calibrations induced on the different holonomy types. We are particularly interested in the special holonomy G2 and Spin(7) manifolds. - April 1.

"An Introduction to Potential Theory on Calibrated Manifolds" (notes)Recently, the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometries was introduced by Harvey and Lawson. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry to calibrated manifolds. In this talk, I will give some information about these functions and their properties where the calibration is parallel. - April 8.

"Lie algebras via the Lie algebra configuration pairing"I will describe a way of understanding free Lie algebras using preLie algebras and graph algebras which generalizes and simplifies the standard method of embedding a Lie algebra in its universal enveloping algebra. I will also outline connections with shuffle algebras, giving new ways of understanding them, as well. The ideas presented have roots in algebraic topology computations of Dev Sinha in 2006, as well as rational homotopy extensions of these by Sinha and myself in subsequent years; however, the precise framing I will describe (purely in algebra) is due to myself and is the product of work this summer. - October 15. (Postponed to Oct 22)
Benjamin Walter (METU-NCC)
"The Lie algebra configuration basis"I will give an application of the framework presented in the previous seminar, giving a new basis for free Lie algebras and using the configuration pairing to write Lie bracket expressions in terms of this basis. Time-permitting, I will show how to make Grobner basis calculations using this basis in general (non-free) Lie algebras. - October 29. HOLIDAY

"Model Theory and Valued Fields" (notes)Valued fields are fields equipped with a valuation compatible with the field structure. I will introduce their value groups and residue fields; equal and mixed characteristic cases; Hahn fields; Henselian fields; and valued fields as first order structures. Time will be spent on classical examples. In this talk I will also give a more detailed description of the Ax-Kochen, Ershov theorem, give an example of its failure in positive characteristic, and introduce the open question of determining the first-order theory of F_p((t)). - December 3.
Salih Azgın
(METU-NCC)
"Model Theory and Valued Difference Fields" (notes)Valued difference fields are valued fields with a compatible automorphism σ. I will introduce also Hahn difference fields, and investigate an Ax-Kochen, Ershov type theorem in this setting. Classical examples are Witt vectors over the closure of F_p with a lifting of the Frobenius automorphism; and R((t))LE, the "log-exp closure of R((t))". Ideas in the previous lecture generalize to Henselian configurations, σ-polynomials, and σ-Henselianity. I will give an Ax-Kochen type theorem in this setting (in the σ-Henselian case for contractive σ), and relate valued fields with positive characteristic to valued difference fields. In this relation, Kaplansky fields correspond to σ-Henselian fields. - December 31. HOLIDAY
