    Gromov showed that for fixed, arbitrarily large C, any uniformly C-Lipschitz affine action of a random group in his graph model on a Hilbert space has a fixed point. We announce a theorem stating that more general affine actions of the same random group on a Hilbert space have a fixed point. We discuss some aspects of the proof.

    Modelled on a real hypersurface in a quaternionic manifold, we introduce a quaternionic analogue of CR structure, called quaternionic CR structure. We define the strong pseudoconvexity of this structure as well as the notion of quaternionic pseudohermitian structure. Following the construction of the Tanaka-Webster connection in complex CR geometry, we construct a canonical connection associated with a quaternionic pseudohermitian structure, when the underlying quaternionic CR structure satisfies the ultra-pseudoconvexity which is stronger than the strong pseudoconvexity. Comparison to Biquard's quaternionic contact structure is also made.

    We prove that a random group of the graph model associated with a sequence of
    expanders has the fixed-point property for a certain class of CAT.0/ spaces. We use Gromov's
    criterion for the fixed-point property in terms of the growth of n-step energy of equivariant
    maps from a finitely generated group into a CAT.0/ space, for which we give a detailed proof.
    We estimate a relevant geometric invariant of the tangent cones of the Euclidean buildings
    associated with the groups PGL.m;Qr /, and deduce from the general result above that the
    same random group has the fixed-point property for all of these Euclidean buildings with m
    bounded from above.

    幾何学的対象(以下、空間という)の対称性はその空間に作用する群という代数的対象を用いて記述される。空間の対称性を理解する一つの方法は、どのような群が、どのような空間に、どのように作用するかを明らかにすることである。このような研究は19世紀にまで遡る長い歴史をもつ。本研究が対象とする「群の剛性」とは、その群の適当なクラスの空間への作用がある意味で一意的であることを意味する性質である。この性質は長らく特別なクラスの群が有する非常に特異で神秘的な性質だと考えられてきた。本研究は、この「群の剛性」という現象を、群や空間の無限遠の構造に注目することによって幾何学的な視点から解き明かすことを目指している。
    本研究の当面の目標は、ランダム・ウォークが与えられた有限生成群Gが非正曲率距離空間Yに等長的に作用する場合における、Gの軌道に移植されたランダム・ ウォークの挙動を明らかにし、次のいずれかが成り立つことを示すことであった。
    (1) GのPoisson境界からYの幾何学的無限遠境界へのそれぞれへのGの作用に関して同変な境界写像が存在する。
    (2) Yの中にGの作用で不変な平坦部分空間が存在する。
    すでに、Yが局所コンパクトな場合については、この目標は達成されている。その手法を拡張することにより、局所コンパクトではないが有限なtelescopic次元をもつYに対しても上記の成果を拡張することができた。上の(1)が成立しない場合、Yに移植されたランダム・ウォークの軌道の中で移動距離の増加幅が減少していくようなものが必ず存在する。この軌道から、実際にYとその幾何学的無限遠境界の和集合の中で収束する部分列の存在を示すことが課題であった。これは当初の予想の通り、超極限を繰り返しとる、というこれまでにない新しい手法により解決することができた。収束する部分列をもたないと仮定すると、繰り返し超極限をとり仮想的な収束先を与えることを繰り返すと、収束先にあたる余分な集合がYに付加されていき、得られる空間の次元が上がってしまうことを示すことができた。一方で、Yが有限なtelescopic次元をもつ場合には、Yの超極限の次元が元々のYの次元と一致することも証明できる。問題の列が収束する部分列をもたないとすると、このことから矛盾が導かれる。このようにして得られた成果を論文"Isometric group actions with vanishing rate of escape on CAT(0) spaces"としてまとめ、発表したところ、内外から高い評価を得ることができた。
    新型コロナ感染症の感染拡大の影響で、昨年度半ばまでは研究分担者の納谷信(名古屋大学)および近藤剛史(鹿児島大学)と共同で取り組む研究がほとんど進められなかった。その部分の進捗に遅れが出ている。しかしながら、それ以外の単独で行う研究については、非常に順調に進んでおり、全体として「おおむね順調に進展している」と考えている。
    これまでに、「ランダム・ウォークが与えられた有限生成群Gが非正曲率距離空間Yに等長的に作用する場合における、Gの軌道に移植されたランダム・ ウォークの挙動を明らかにする」という当面の目標は予想通りの成果を挙げて達成されている。今後は、この成果を元に、離散群の「超剛性」という性質の幾何学的背景を明らかにすることに取り組む。
    その最初のステップとして、すでに知られている局所体上の半単純代数群の格子の超剛性をさらに一般化し、かつ、幾何学的な手法で証明することを目指す。局所体上の半単純代数群にはRiemann対称空間あるいはEuclid的ビルディングと呼ばれる非正曲率空間が付随して現れ、代数群の格子はこれらの空間に非常によい作用をもつ。そこで、代数群の格子の非正曲率距離空間への作用に関する超剛性を、Riemann対称空間あるいはEuclid的ビルディングの幾何学的な性質を用いて(代数群の研究に用いられるような代数的な手法は用いずに)示すことを目標とする。
    以下、代数群に付随するRiemann対称空間あるいはEuclid的ビルディングをX、代数群の格子をGとし、Gが非正曲率距離空間Yに等長的に作用しているとする。このとき、GのXおよびYへの作用に関する情報は、それぞれの幾何学的無限遠境界への作用からかなりの部分が復元される。また、GのPoisson境界はXの幾何学的無限遠境界に実現される。そこで、これまでの研究でその存在が保証されているGのPoisson境界からYの幾何学的無限遠境界への同変境界写像をXの幾何学的無限遠境界からYの幾何学的無限遠境界への同変境界写像に拡張し、この写像を通して、GのXおよびYへの作用をある意味で比較することにより、Gの作用の調合性を導くことができると考えている。

    A novel crystal structure represented by a carbon structure was analyzed using discrete geometry analysis.
    In order to analyze the crystal structure, which is a typical example of the carbon structure from the viewpoint of discrete geometry analysis, Define a trivalent discrete surface, define its Gaussian curvature and mean curvature, It shows the negative curvature of the structure that was conventionally called ``negative curvature carbon structure'', etc. It was shown that the structure that appears in material science can be described by the method of discrete geometry analysis. In addition, by improving the energy of the graph, we proposed a high-speed calculation method for the curved graphene structure.
    An example is shown in which there is a strong correlation between the curvature of a curved surface and its physical properties.

    We studied the optimization problems concerning embeddings into Euclidean spaces and the linear spectral gap of a finite graph and were able to find optimal solutions for a distance-regular graph. We studied the problem of finding an edge-length function maximizing the linear spectral gap and proved a Nadirashvili type theorem. We studied a new optimization problem concerning embeddings and the linear spectral gap of a manifold. We presented some examples where the problems can be solved and proved a Nadirashvili type theorem. We showed that a discrete equivariant harmonic map form a finitely generated group equipped with a random walk induces a boundary map under appropriate assumptions.

    In this research project, by making use of the generalized maximum principle, we studied classification problems of complete self-shrinkers. Several important results are obtained. On study of λ-hypersurfaces, embedded compact λ-hypersurfaces are constructed concretely. We classified complete λ-surfaces with constant squared norm of the second fundamental form. We proved that a complete λ-hypersurface has polynomial area growth if and only if it is proper. We obtained that the lower bound growth of area of complete and non-compact λ-hypersurfaces is at least linear. Gauss-Bonnet theorem on wave front is generalized to higher dimensions in the sense of mapping degree of Gaussian map. Ends of complete and non-compact Riemannian manifolds with finite volume and negative sectional curvature are studied. Several important results are obtained. The conjecture on maximizing the first eigenvalue of Laplacian for closed surfaces with genus 2 is solved affirmatively.

    The group is an algebraic object which also gives a description of symmetries of spaces. Some important and interesting groups often admits a property called "superrigidity", which we tried to understand as an extremal property among that involving infinite discrete groups. We could show that a fixed-point property, which should be considered to be an important aspect of superrigidity, is shared by finitely presented groups with overwhelming probability.

    On a compact manifold with very general singularities, we have studied the Yamabe problem and have established a generalization of Aubin’s inequality for Yamabe constants. When the inequality is strict, we have proved the existence of singular Yamabe metrics.
    When the equality of the inequality holds, we have constructed an example of singular manifolds which have not singular Yamabe metrics. For an edge-cone Einstein metric on a smooth manifold, we have constructed an appropriate family of smooth metrics with Ricci curvature bounded below by the Einstein constant. As a corollary, we have obtained an estimate of the Yamabe invariant from below by using the existence of edge-cone Einstein metrics.
