My talk  is on my attempt in arithmetic topology. I will discuss an
arithmetic structure on knots;
I will show that the absolute Galois group of the rational number
field acts non-trivially on 'the space of knots' in a non-trivial way.

I will discuss the computation of the homology Hirzebruch
characteristic classes of (possibly singular) toric varieties. I will
present two different perspectives for the computation of these
characteristic classes. First, by taking advantage of the torus-orbit
decomposition and the motivic properties of the homology Hirzebruch
classes, we express the latter in terms of the (dual) Todd classes of
closures of orbits. The obtained formula is then applied to  weighted
lattice point counting in lattice polytopes. Secondly, in the case of
simplicial toric varieties, we make use of the Lefschetz-Riemann-Roch
theorem in the context of the geometric quotient description of such
varieties. In this setting, we define mock Hirzebruch classes of
simplicial toric varieties and investigate the difference  between the
(actual) homology Hirzebruch class and the mock Hirzebruch class.  We
show that this difference is localized on the singular locus, and we
obtain a formula for it in which the contribution of each singular cone
is identified explicitly. This is joint work with Joerg Schuermann.

  • Cartesian and co-Cartesian morphisms. Maybe other fibrations in used for adjunctions.  

  • Definition of Adjunction via correspondences (See sect 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 in HTT)

  • Statement of Prop 5.2.1.3 (HTT) (probably skip the proof)

  • Prop. 5.2.3.5, sketch of proof.

Using a codimension-1 algebraic cycle obtained from the Poincare line bundle, Beauville defined the Fourier transform on the Chow ring of an abelian variety A and showed that the Fourier transform induces a decomposition of the Chow ring CH_*(A) which is compatible with its ring structure. We prove that a similar decomposition exists for certain hyperkaehler fourfolds by using a codimension-2 algebraic cycle representing the Beauville--Bogomolov bilinear form. This is joint work with Mingmin Shen.

We establish Kudla's modularity conjecture for the generating function 
of special cycles of codimension 2.  The proof is based on a 
convergence result for formal Fourier Jacobi expansions.  We define 
such expansions in some simple cases, and outline the approach taken to 
show that they always converge.  Finally, we showcase the connection to 
previous results by Zhang, which yields the desired proof of Kudla's 
conjecture.

Representation equivalence, characteristic equivalence and commensurability of arithmetic lattices

Gopal Prasad and A. S. Rapinchuk defined a notion of weakly
commensurable lattices in a semisimple group, and gave a
classification of weakly commensurable Zariski dense subgroups. A
motivation was to classify pairs of locally symmetric spaces
isospectral with respect to the Laplacian on functions. For this, in
higher ranks, they assume the validity of Schanuel's conjecture.
In this talk, we observe that if we use the stronger notion of
representation equivalence of lattices, then Schanuel's conjecture can
be avoided. Further, the results are also applicable in a
S-arithmetic setting.
We also introduce a new relation on the class of arithmetic lattices,
stronger than weak commensurability, which we call as characteristic
equivalence, and show that it simplifies some of the arguments used in
Prasad and Rapinchuk (2009) to deduce commensurability type results
from weak commensurability.

Let  X \to D^* be a smooth projective variety over the formal punctured disk D^*=spec K= spec \bC((t)).
   The Griffiths-Landman-Grothendieck ``Local Monodromy Theorem'' asserts that
the Gauss-Manin connection on the de Rham cohomology H^*_{DR}(X/D^*)  has a regular  singularity at the origin and that the monodromy of this connection is quasi-unipotent.  I will explain a  noncommutative generalization of this result, 
where the de Rham cohomology is replaced by the periodic cyclic homology of a (smooth proper)  DG category over K equipped with the Gauss-Manin-Getzler connection. The proof of the Noncommutative Local Monodromy Theorem is based on the reduction modulo p technique and some ideas of N.Katz and D. Kaledin. Namely, I will prove that for any  smooth proper DG category over F_p((t)) the p-curvature of  the Gauss-Manin-Getzler connection on its 
periodic cyclic homology is nilpotent.If time allows I will also explain a noncommutative generalization of the Katz p-curvature formula relating the p-curvature of the Gauss-Manin-Getzler connection with the Kodaira-Spencer class (which is, in the noncommutative setting, a canonical element  of the second Hochschild cohomology group of the DG category)
 
This  talk is based on a joint work with Dmitry Vaintrob.
