For spaces that parametrize variations of Hodge structures of weight 2, a connection with work of Mathai and Quillen on superconnections was done by Garcia 10 years ago. A more careful examination of the work shows that the definition is in fact very simple. This simple formula allows us, in work with Garcia and Greer, to show modularity of Noether-Lefschetz cycles on $\\mathcal A_g$. In the talk, I will review the main ideas behind the proof of modularity of special cycles using Mathai-Quillen forms with an emphasis on the case of K3 surfaces. This will serve as a preparation for the next talk, where the proof with Garcia and Greer will be discussed.</div><div class="event_time">13:30 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Thursday, July 23      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/algebraic-geometry-and-moduli-seminar">Algebraic Geometry and Moduli Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Prof. Dr. Emanuel Scheidegger (Peking University)</div><div class="event_title">Enumerative invariants for orbifold Calabi-Yau threefolds <span class="abstract-button do_not_print">abstract</span></div><div class="abstract-text" style="display: none"><strong>Abstract:</strong><br />We study orbifold Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in weighted projective stacks from the point of view of the gauged linear sigma model. We give a very brief introduction to the gauged linear sigma model which is a physics version of quasimap theory and review some general conjectures. We explain how these conjectures allow for determination of the orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants without using Gromov-Witten or quasimap theory.</div><div class="event_time">13:30 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Friday, July 24      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/algebraic-geometry-and-moduli-seminar">Algebraic Geometry and Moduli Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Aitor Iribar López (ETH Zürich)</div><div class="event_title">Kudla-Millson theory on A_g <span class="abstract-button do_not_print">abstract</span></div><div class="abstract-text" style="display: none"><strong>Abstract:</strong><br />The expectation, which was conjectured by Kudla and proven in several instances by several mathematicians, is that the Kudla-Millson forms extend to the toroidal compactifications of Shimura varieties and still preserve modularity in a certain way. In joint work with Garcia and Greer, we confirm this expectation on the compactification of $\\mathcal A_1 \\times \\mathcal A_{g}$ obtained by adding the cusp and use it to show modularity of Noether-Lefschetz cycles. In the talk I will discuss approaches to Kudla\'s conjecture and give our proof of modularity. If time permits, I will talk about an extension to mixed Shimura varieties.</div><div class="event_time">16:00 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>  </div>  <div id="sms_footer">    address: Alessandra Naldi Windler, Departement Mathematik, HG G 51.4, ETH Zurich, Raemistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zurich<br />    email: <a href="mailto:bulletin@math.ch">bulletin@math.ch</a> | phone: +41 44 632 3684 | url: <a href="https://math.ch">https://math.ch</a>    <br /><br /><img src="//www2.math.ethz.ch/smsjs/sms_logo.gif" width="150" alt="SMS/SMG Logo" title="SMS/SMG Logo" />  </div></div>';
