17. Points rationnels et zéro-cycles dans les fibrations

Olivier Wittenberg (École normale supérieure)

Arithmetic geometry and Galois theory

Si X est une variété projective et lisse définie sur un corps de nombres, la ``méthode des fibrations'' pour étudier l'ensemble des points rationnels de X ou le groupe de Chow des zéro-cycles de X vise à ramener les questions que l'on pose pour X (par exemple: existence d'un point ou d'un zéro-cycle de degré 1) aux mêmes questions pour les fibres d'un morphisme dominant f:X->P^1. Le but de...

18. Oort groups and lifting problems

Arithmetic geometry and Galois theory

The Oort conjecture states that every cyclic branched cover of curves in characteristic p can be lifted to such a cover in characteristic zero. This raises the more general question of which finite groups G have the property that every G-Galois branched cover of curves in characteristic p can be lifted to characteristic zero. While this can be viewed as analogous to the inverse Galois...

1. The arithmetic of tori over various fields

David Harari (Université Paris-Sud)

Let T be an algebraic torus defined over a number field K. In the case of a number field, obstructions to local-global principles for T are well understood thanks to work by Voskresenskii and Sansuc. We consider the case K=k(t) for different fields k (quasi-finite, p-adic) and extend the classical results in this context.

0. Generalised perfectoid rings and perfectoid spaces

Lorenzo Ramero (Université Lille 1)

Arithmetic geometry and Galois theory

Scholze's theory of perfectoid rings and perfectoid spaces is rather recent, but it has already had some spectacular applications to étale cohomology, p-adic Hosge theory and p-adic representations. I will present a generalization of this theory that I am developing in collaboration with Ofer Gabber. I will also explain the questions that have led us to this generalization.

22. Recent Progress in Bogomolov's Program: A Survey

Aaron Silberstein (University of Pennsylvania)

Arithmetic geometry and Galois theory

Given a field $K$, finitely generated and of transcendence degree $2$ over the algebraic closure of a prime field, we may now reconstruct $K$ from the maximal $2$-step nilpotent pro-$\ell$ quotient of its absolute Galois group. This allows us to construct a complete (albeit countably infinite) set of geometric obstructions for an element of the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group to come from an...
