Recent results are mainly introduced in the talk. This colloquium is generally held in hot spring area, however, this year it was held as an online conference. In the opening remark, Prof. Hidemi Shigekawa said "(Although it is very disappointed that the style of this conference is different from ordinary style) It is very good opportunity to open new world for us". His word made our mind clear at the beginning of the conference,
