The Bloch–Kato conjecture for GSp(4)

NUMBER THEORY

October 14, 2020      3:00 pm
Speaker: David Loeffler - University of Warwick

The Bloch--Kato conjecture predicts that the dimension of the Selmer group of a global Galois representation is equal to the order of vanishing of its L-function. In this talk, I...

Bounding the number of rational points on curves

NUMBER THEORY

October 7, 2020      3:00 pm
Speaker: Ziyang Gao - CNRS/IMJ-PRG

Mazur conjectured, after Faltings’s proof of the Mordell conjecture, that the number of rational points on a curve of genus g at least 2 defined over a number field of...

Pointwise Bound for $\ell$-torsion of Class Groups

NUMBER THEORY

September 30, 2020      3:00 pm
Speaker: Jiuya Wang - Duke University

$\ell$-torsion conjecture states that $\ell$-torsion of the class group $|\text{Cl}_K[\ell]|$ for every number field $K$ is bounded by $\text{Disc}(K)^{\epsilon}$. It follows from a classical result of Brauer-Siegel, or even earlier...

Multiplicative functions in short intervals revisited

NUMBER THEORY

September 23, 2020      10:00 am
Speaker: Kaisa Matomäki - University of Turku, Finland

A few years ago Maksym Radziwill and I showed that the average of a multiplicative function in almost all very short intervals $[x, x+h]$ is close to its average on...

Representations of p-adic groups and applications

NUMBER THEORY

September 16, 2020      3:00 pm
Speaker: Jessica Fintzen - Cambridge/Duke/IAS

The Langlands program is a far-reaching collection of conjectures that relate different areas of mathematics including number theory and representation theory. A fundamental problem on the representation theory side of...

A mod p geometric Satake isomorphism

NUMBER THEORY

September 9, 2020      3:00 pm
Speaker: Robert Cass - Harvard University

We apply methods from geometric representation theory toward the mod p Langlands program. More specifically, we explain a mod p version of the geometric Satake isomorphism, which gives a sheaf-theoretic...

Prismatic Dieudonné theory

NUMBER THEORY

May 13, 2020      3:00 pm
Speaker: Arthur-Cesar Le Bras - CNRS/Paris-13

I would like to explain a classification result for p-divisible groups, which unifies many of the existing results in the literature. The main tool is the theory of prisms and...

Symmetric power functoriality for modular forms

NUMBER THEORY

May 6, 2020      3:00 pm
Speaker: James Newton - King's College London

 Langlands functoriality predicts the transfer of automorphic representations along maps of L-groups. In particular, the symmetric power representation Symm^{n-1} of GL(2) should give rise to a lifting from automorphic representations...
