On quintic threefolds with triple pointWe consider singular quintic threefolds containing a cone. We show that their minimal resolutions are Calabi-Yau threefolds admitting a type III contraction. We describe the Kähler cone of these varieties. We also construct Calabi-Yau threefolds arising as the smoothing of the manifolds obtained through the type III contraction.

Introduction to the Minimal Model Program IIMy talk is the second one in the series of talks based on the
Introduction
to the Minimal Model Problem by Kawamata, Matsuda and Matsuki.
I will begin with a short statement of the fundamental conjectures of the
Minimal Model Program and then I will move on to the topics related to the
canonical varieties, including Iitaka dimension, Kodaira's lemma and the notion
of a variety of general type. The third part of my talk will focus on the
statement and the proof of the Covering Lemma.

Introduction to the Minimal Model Program IIIIn my talk I will discuss several vanishing theorems. I will focus on the Kawamata-Viehweg
vanishing theorem and the Elkik-Fujita vanishing theorem and present some of their consequences.
The talk will be based on "Introduction to the Minimal Model Problem" by Kawamata, Matsuda and Matsuki. |

Introduction to the Minimal Model Program (4)In the first part of my talk, I'll focus on the proof of Rationality Theorem. Then I will illustrate how Rationality Theorem can be used to prove Cone Theorem, a structure theorem on the closed cone of curves of an algebraic variety. This theorem is one of the key steps toward the theory of minimal models.
The talk is based on Introduction to the Minimal Model Problem by Kawamata, Matsuda and Matsuki. |
| 11.01.2021 | Michał Farnik |
Introduction to the Minimal Model Program VIn the first part of my talk, I'll focus on the proof of the Non-Vanishing Theorem. Then I will illustrate how the Non-Vanishing Theorem can be used to prove the Base Point Free Theorem which in turn will be used to prove the Contraction Theorem.
The talk will be based on Introduction to the Minimal Model Problem by Kawamata, Matsuda and Matsuki. |

Introduction to the Minimal Model Program VIWe continue the discussion of the Minimal Model Program with description of types of contractions
of extremal rays, namely contractions of fiber type, contractions of divisorial type and contractions
of flipping type.
The talk is based on Introduction to the Minimal Model Problem by Kawamata, Matsuda and Matsuki. |
| 25.01.2021 | Sara Angela Filippini |
Introduction to the Minimal Model Program VIIIn this talk we discuss the MMP in the realm of toric varieties. We present Reid's proof that the flip conjecture holds for toric morphisms and describe several examples of flipping contractions and their flips.
The talk is based on Introduction to the Minimal Model Problem by Kawamata, Matsuda and Matsuki. |
| 1.03.2021 | Dominik Burek |
Introduction to the Minimal Model Program VIIIWe continue the discussion of the MMP by giving generalizations of Non-Vanishing Theorem and
the Base Free Theorem replacing the ample (or nef and big divisors) in the original statements
by nef and abundant divisors.
The talk is based on Introduction to the Minimal Model Problem by Kawamata, Matsuda and Matsuki. |

Minuscule exceptional Schubert varietiesI will give a brief introduction to Schubert varieties in generalized Grassmannians,
i.e. homogeneous varieties $G/P$, where $P$ is a maximal parabolic subgroup of a simple Lie group $G$.
For the minuscule case of $G= E_6$ and $E_7$ I will describe some resolutions of their defining ideals.
The motivation comes from the role played by defining ideals of Schubert varieties of low codimension
(and their intersections with the opposite big cell) in the structure theory of resolutions of length
3 in Weyman's $T_{p,q,r}$-program.
This is joint work with J. Torres and J. Weyman. |

j-invariant of an elliptic curve with complex multiplicationThis will be the presentation of my bachelor thesis. The aim of this seminar will be to present proof that the j-invariant of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication is an algebraic integer.
I will begin with preliminary information including basic facts about imaginary quadratic fields and elliptic curves with complex multiplication and then I will move on to the topics related to the modular forms and modular polynomials. The third part of my talk will focus on the proof of the main theorem. I will conclude with a nice application of this theory to justify why Ramanujan Constant is almost integer.

A non-Levi branching rule in terms of Littelmann pathsI will give a gentle introduction to Littelmann paths and how they encode bases
of irreducible representations of semi-simple Lie algebras. Amongst the advantages
of this technique are branching rules which describe the decomposition into irreducible
components of the restriction of a given irreducible representation to a Levi subalgebra.
I will present a similar branching rule, for a non-Levi case that seems to be quite special.
This is joint work with Bea Schumann.

Good semigroups and their Apéry setsGood semigroups are defined as a family of submonoids of $N^d$, properly containing the family
of value semigroups of rings of curves singularities. In the case $n=1$, they are just numerical
semigroups and their properties, in relation with those of the associated monomial curves have
been well studied. Extending those results to the general case, we construct and study the Apéry
sets of good semigroups and, focusing mostly on the case $n=2$, we show how these sets are used
to describe properties such as symmetry and almost-symmetry. In the case of value semigroups of
curves, such properties correspond to Gorensteiness and almost-Gorensteiness of the associated rings.

Push-forward of Hall-Littlewood classesWe give a formula for pushing forward the classes of Hall-Littlewood polynomials in Grassmann bundles.
This formula generalizes Gysin formulas for Schur $S$-functions. Moreover it establishes a formula for Schur
$P$-functions with the help of Gaussian polynomials.

Very symmetric $K3^{[2]}$ type varietiesAnalogously to the work which followed the classification of finite symplectic actions
on K3 surfaces by S. Mukai in 1988, we will use the paper Finite groups of symplectic
automorphisms of hyperkähler manifolds of type $K3^{[2]}$ by G. Höhn and G. Mason
to study some very symmetric $K3^{[2]}$ type fourfolds, i.e ones acted upon via (not necessarily
symplectic) automorphisms by the largest possible groups strictly containing the maximal
groups from the article.

Hodge numbers and Zeta function of some higher dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds of Kummer typeWe construct Calabi-Yau manifolds of arbitrary dimensions as a resolution of a quotient of a product
of a K3 surface and (n-2) elliptic curves with a strictly non-symplectic automorpism of order 2, 3, 4
or 6. This construction generalize a result of Cynk and Hulek and the classical construction of Borcea
and Voisin, the proof is based on toric resolution of singularities. Using Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology
and Yasuda theorem we compute the Hodge numbers of all constructed examples. Moreover, using Rosen’s
result we give a method to compute the local Zeta functions.

Arithmetic properties of the restricted partition function $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$Let $\mathcal{A}=(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}_+}$ be a sequence of positive integers. The function
$p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ counts the number of multi-color partitions of $n$ into parts in $\{a_1,\ldots,a_k\}$.
We examine several arithmetic properties of the sequence $(p_\mathcal{A}(n,k) \pmod{m})_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$
for an arbitrary fixed integer $m\geqslant2$, and apply them to the special cases of $\mathcal{A}$.
In particular, for a fixed parameter $k$, we investigate both the upper bound for the odd density of
$p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ and the lower bound for the density of
$\{n\in\mathbb{N}: p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)\not\equiv0 \pmod{m}\}$. Furthermore, we present some new results
related to restricted $m$-ary partitions and state a few open problems at the end of the talk.

Computing equations of elliptic curves with complex multiplicationFinding equations of elliptic curves with complex multiplication poses a surprisingly difficult task.
During my presentation I will introduce some necessary theory to tackle this problem. I will also
describe an algorithm developed by H.M. Stark, that enables us to find equations of such curves and
will show some examples of explicit formulas for different curves.

Aleksander Czarnecki (1993-2018) Counting points on double octic Calabi-Yau threefolds over finite fieldsWe present an algorithm for counting points on a double octic
Calabi-Yau threefold associated to a configuration of eight planes
over a finite field based on the existence of an elliptic curve
fibration.
This paper contains results of PhD studies interrupted by sudden death of Aleksander Czarnecki on February 28, 201. |

Picard-Fuchs operators and their monodromy representationsGiven a one-dimensional family of Calabi-Yau threefolds, the variation of its third cohomology
defines a local system on the parametrizing space. This local system is isomorphic to a one coming
from the certain differential operator, called the Picard-Fuchs operator of the given family. In my
talk I will introduce basic properties of local systems associated with Picard-Fuchs operators; I will
also introduce monodromy representations as the basic mean of studying them. In particular, results
concerning the transition matrix between local Frobenius bases at different singular points will be
presented. The talk is based on my Master's Thesis.

On the postulation of planes in $\mathbb{P}^4$Given a set $X$ consisting of subspaces of $\mathbb{P}^n$ one can ask whether vanishing along $X$
imposes independent conditions on forms of degree $t$. If this is the case, we say that $X$ has
good postulation in degree $t$. By the well-known Hartshorne-Hirshowitz Theorem, a set of general
lines in $\mathbb{P}^3$ has good postulation in any degree. That result leads to the study of the postulation
of general planes in $\mathbb{P}^4$. In my talk I will present the method to show that the set
of general planes has good postulation in certain degrees.

On the generalized reduction algorithmIn 2005, M. Dumnicki and W. Jarnicki presented an algorithm which can be used to find the upper
bound of the dimension of linear system of plane curves of given degree, with multiple points
in general position. This algorithm, called the reduction method, can be generalized to
the n-dimensional case. In my talk I will present this method in the 2-dimensional case, along
with the detailed proof why it works. Then I will present a generalized, $n$-dimensional version
of the reduction method, along with the general proof and examples.
