How to make log structures

Alessio Corti
(Imperial College London)
Abstract

I will speak about my work with Helge Ruddat on how to construct explicitly log structures and morphisms. I will also discuss some motivation. I will try to stay informal and assume no prior knowledge of log structures.

Sometimes artists become better known for their lifestyle or fashion tastes than the work without which we wouldn't know or care about them - Van Gogh, Bowie, even Taylor Swift. Jim Morrison of the Doors fits that bill, in his case for his death and grave as much as his life. But he and the band wrote some songs. That's where it all starts and ends.

Vafa-Witten invariants from modular anomaly

Sergey Alexandrov
(Montpelier)
Abstract
I'll present a modular anomaly equation satisfied by generating functions of refined Vafa-Witten invariants 
for the gauge group $U(N)$ on complex surfaces with $b_1=0$ and $b_2^+=1$, 
which has been derived from S-duality of string theory.
I'll show how this equation can used to find explicit expressions for these generating functions
(and their modular completions) on $\mathbb{CP}^2$, Hirzebruch and del Pezzo surfaces.
The construction for $\mathbb{CP}^2$ suggests also a new form of blow-up identities.
