 ometry_FU/1/">The logarithmic Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov theorem</a>\nby Simon
  Felten (JGU Mainz) as part of Algebraic geometry Freie Universität Berli
 n\n\n\nAbstract\nA variety V with only normal crossing singularities does 
 only admit a semistable smoothing if it is d-semistable\, but this conditi
 on is not sufficient. However\, d-semistability is sufficient to endow V w
 ith the structure of a logarithmically smooth log morphism to the standard
  log point\; then constructing a semistable smoothing becomes essentially 
 equivalent to constructing an infinitesimal log smooth deformation of V up
  to any order. Morally\, but not in practice\, this is achieved by a logar
 ithmic Bogomolov--Tian--Todorov Theorem---the unobstructedness of the log 
 smooth deformation functor---in case that V is Calabi--Yau. In view of Iac
 ono--Manetti's algebraic proof of the classical BTT theorem\, we need a dg
 la which controls the log smooth deformation functor. However\, the straig
 htforward approach fails for rather obvious reasons. Instead\, we study de
 formations of the Gerstenhaber algebra of log polyvector fields. On the on
 e hand\, this yields the sought-after replacement of the dgla. On the othe
 r hand\, this yields by results of Chan--Leung--Ma a weaker unobstructedne
 ss result\; nonetheless\, it is sufficient to construct semistable smoothi
 ngs and implies---by local algebra---the full logarithmic Bogomolov--Tian-
 -Todorov Theorem.\n

 reie Universität Berlin\n\n\nAbstract\nI will talk about some joint work 
 with Piotr Achinger\, about a “Betti realization” functor for varietie
 s over the formal punctured disk Spec C((t))\, i.e. defined by polynomials
  with coefficients in the field of formal Laurent series in one variable o
 ver the complex numbers. We give two constructions producing the same resu
 lt\, one of them (the one that I'll actually talk about) via “good model
 s” over the power series ring C[[t]] and the “Kato-Nakayama” constru
 ction in logarithmic geometry\, that I will review during the talk.\n

 \nby Jonathan Lai (Imperial College London) as part of Algebraic geometry 
 Freie Universität Berlin\n\n\nAbstract\nWe present a compactification of 
 mirror families for positive pairs (Y\,D) where Y is a smooth projective s
 urface and D is an anti-canonical cycle of rational curves. It ends up tha
 t this compactified family can be realized as the moduli space of certain 
 marked pairs deformation equivalent to the original pair (Y\,D). To obtain
  this identification\, the period associated to each fiber is computed usi
 ng techniques from tropical geometry. This is ongoing joint work with Yan 
 Zhou.\n

  Bossinger (UNAM Oaxaca) as part of Algebraic geometry Freie Universität 
 Berlin\n\n\nAbstract\nI will report on joint work in progress with Takuya 
 Murata. We study toric degenerations\, i.e. flat families over the affine 
 line whose special fibre is a projective toric variety. They can be given 
 abstractly\, with an embedding or even have the property that there is a p
 rojection from the generic to the special fiber. Algebraically the latter 
 corresponds to an embedding of the toric algebra into the homogeneous coor
 dinate ring of the generic fibre. Using valuations and Gröbner theory to 
 give equations for embedded toric degenerations\, standard monomial theory
  provides a useful tool to construct such projections.\n

 arian Aprodu (University of Bucharest) as part of Algebraic geometry Freie
  Universität Berlin\n\n\nAbstract\nI report on a joint work with G. Farka
 s\, S. Papadima\, C. Raicu and J. Weyman. Koszul modules are multi-linear 
 algebra objects associated to an arbitrary subspace in a second exterior p
 ower. They are naturally presented as graded pieces of some Tor-s over the
  dual exterior algebra. Koszul modules appear in Geometric Group Theory\, 
 in relations with Alexander invariants of groups. We prove an optimal vani
 shing result for the Koszul modules\, and we use representation theory to 
 connect the syzygies of rational cuspidal curves to some particular Koszul
  modules. We apply our vanishing result to Algebraic Geometry exhibiting a
  new proof of Green’s conjecture on syzygies of canonical general curves
 \, and to Geometric Group Theory.\n

 y Aniket Shah (Ohio State University) as part of Algebraic geometry Freie 
 Universität Berlin\n\n\nAbstract\nFor a polytope P\, Brion's identity is 
 a useful formula for the lattice point generating function of P\, which wa
 s originally proved via equivariant K-theory on the associated toric varie
 ty X.\n\nWe prove a q-analogue of this identity via equivariant K-theory o
 n certain compactifications of the space of maps from P^1 to X called quas
 imap spaces\, which were introduced by Givental in the context of Gromov-W
 itten theory. In the special case of P a standard simplex\, we obtain an i
 dentity for the multivariate Rogers-Szego orthogonal polynomials as a sum 
 involving specializations of the quantum K-theoretic J-function.\n

 dean mirror symmetry</a>\nby Enrica Mazzon (MPI Bonn) as part of Algebraic
  geometry Freie Universität Berlin\n\n\nAbstract\nThe SYZ conjecture is a
  conjectural geometric explanation of mirror symmetry. Based on this\, Kon
 tsevich and Soibelman proposed a non-archimedean approach to mirror symmet
 ry. This led to the notion of essential skeleton and the construction of n
 on-archimedean SYZ fibrations by Nicaise-Xu-Yu.\n\nIn this talk\, I will i
 ntroduce these objects and report on recent results extending the approach
  of Nicaise-Xu-Yu. This yields new types of non-archimedean retractions. F
 or families of quartic K3 surfaces and quintic 3-folds\, the new retractio
 ns relate nicely with the results on the dual complex of toric degeneratio
 ns and on the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of the family.\n\nThis is based on a 
 work in progress with Léonard Pille-Schneider.\n

 rämer (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) as part of Algebraic geometry Fre
 ie Universität Berlin\n\n\nAbstract\nLawrence and Sawin have shown that u
 p to translation\, any abelian variety over a number field contains at mos
 t finitely many smooth ample hypersurfaces with given class in the Néron-
 Severi group and with good reduction outside a given finite set of primes.
  A key ingredient in their proof is a big monodromy theorem for hypersurfa
 ces\, which amounts to a statement about the Tannaka group of certain D-mo
 dules on abelian varieties. In the talk I will give a motivated introducti
 on to the geometry of such Tannaka groups and discuss recent progress towa
 rds big monodromy theorems for subvarieties of higher codimension (this is
  ongoing work with Ariyan Javanpeykar\, Christian Lehn and Marco Maculan).

 (University of Pisa) as part of Algebraic geometry Freie Universität Berl
 in\n\n\nAbstract\nA variety X is semi-smooth if locally in the e'tale topo
 logy its singularities are either double crossing points (xy=0) or pinch p
 oints (x^2-y^2z=0). Alternatively\, X is semi-smooth if it can be obtained
  from a smooth variety X' by gluing it along a smooth divisor D' via an in
 volution g of D'. We describe explicitly in terms of the triple (X'\,D'\, 
 g) the two sheaves on X that control its deformation theory\, that is\, th
 e tangent sheaf T_X and the sheaf T^1_X:=ext^1(\\Omega_X\,O_X). As an appl
 ication\, we show  the smoothability of the semi-smooth Godeaux surfaces (
 K^2=1\, p_g=q=0).\nThis is joint work with Barbara Fantechi and Marco Fran
 ciosi.\n\nPlease note the unusual time! This talk starts at 15:45 (Germany
 /France/Italy times) on Monday the 5th of July.\n

 eo Varbaro (University of Genova) as part of Algebraic geometry Freie Univ
 ersität Berlin\n\n\nAbstract\nLet R be a standard graded algebra over a f
 ield\, and denote by H_R(t) its Hilbert series. As it turns out\, multiply
 ing H_R(t) by (1-t)^{dim R} yields a polynomial h((t)=h_0+h_1t+h_2t^2+…+
 h_st^s\, known as the h-polynomial of R. It is well known and easy to prov
 e that if R is Cohen-Macaulay h_i is nonnegative for all i.\nSince being C
 ohen-Macaulay is equivalent to satisfying Serre condition (S_i) for all i\
 , it is licit to ask if h_i is nonnegative for all i<=r whenever R satisfi
 es (S_r).\nAs it turns out\, this is false in general\, but true putting s
 ome additional assumptions on the singularities of R. In characteristic 0\
 , it is enough that X= Proj R is Du Bois (in particular\, if X is smooth w
 e have the desired nonnegativity). In positive characteristic\, assuming R
  is F-split (equivalently\, if X=Proj R globally F-split)\, things work we
 ll. In this talk I will speak of the above results and some of their conse
 quences. This is a joint work with Hailong Dao and Linquan Ma.\n
