Next Seminar

Special functions and quantum algebra
Abstract :
In this talk I will discuss how the theory of the sixth Painlevé equation can teach us many lessons on certain class of quantum algebras
called Generalized Double Affine Hecke Algebras (GDAHA in short). In particular I will focus in the automorphisms of these algebras and their representation theory.
Painlevé Seminar Topics
Recently, we have encountered many interesting links between differential
equations of Painlevé types and other fields of mathematics such
as algebraic geometry, non-abelian Hodge theory and topological recursion
and so on.
In this web seminar, we will organize research talks on Painlevé
equations and related topics on web (zoom), basically about once every
two or three weeks.
From September 2022, Regular time for seminar talk will be on Wednesday from 17:30--18:30 + discussion time
in JST(Japan) or 10:30--11:30 in UTC+1. We are looking forward to your participation in
the seminar. In order to get zoom access, please register through the form.

Joyce structures were introduced by T. Bridgeland in the context of the space of stability conditions of a three-dimensional Calabi-Yau category and its associated Donaldson-Thomas invariants, and have also appeared in the context of isomonodromic systems associated with Painlevé equations. Under certain non-degeneracy conditions, they encode a complex hyperkähler structure on the tangent bundle of the base of the Joyce structure. Taking inspiration from this work, I'll give a description of (real) hyperkahler metrics compatible with an integrable system structure that is very similar to the description of Joyce structures. In particular, I will give examples of such hyperkähler metrics where there is a precise analog of the Plebański function appearing in the context of Joyce structures. This is work in progress, which is a follow-up to https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.00548.
