1. Motivic Fundamental Group of CM Elliptic Curves and Geometry of Bianchi Hyperbolic Threefolds

Prof. Alexander Goncharov (Yale University & IHES)

Let N be an ideal in the ring O of gaussian integers. We consider the action of the motivic Galois group on the motivic fundamental group of the elliptic curve with CM by the ring O, punctured at the N-torsion points, and relate it to the geometry of the Bianchi threefold obtained by taking the quotient of the hyperbolic space by a congruence subgroup of GL(2,O) determined by the ideal N.

2. Purity for Flat Cohomology

Prof. Kęstutis Česnavičius (Université Paris-Sud)

05/07/2019 11:30

The absolute cohomological purity conjecture of Grothendieck proved by Gabber ensures that on regular schemes étale cohomology classes of fixed cohomological degree extend uniquely over closed subschemes of large codimension. I will discuss the corresponding phenomenon for flat cohomology. The talk is based on joint work with Peter Scholze.

3. Application of Functional Transcendence to Counting Rational Points on Curves

Prof. Ziyang Gao (IMJ-PRG)

With Philipp Habegger we recently proved a height inequality, using which one can bound the number of rational points on 1-parameter families of curves in terms of the genus, the degree of the number field and the Mordell-Weil rank (but no dependence on the Faltings height). This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Mazur for pencils of curves. In this talk I will give a blueprint to...

4. Sur le programme de Langlands p-adique

Prof. Pierre Colmez (IMJ-PRG)

05/07/2019 15:15

Le programme de Langlands p-adique a pour origine les travaux de Serre et de Hida sur les familles p-adiques de formes modulaires et les représentations galoisiennes qui leur sont associées. Mazur, en collaboration avec Gouvéa et avec Coleman, a joué un grand rôle dans la maturation de ce programme, mais celui-ci n'a toujours pas de forme vraiment définitive. Je présenterai des travaux récents...

5. New Rational Points of Algebraic Curves over Extension Fields

Prof. Barry Mazur (Harvard University)

05/07/2019 16:45

For L/K an extension of fields and V an algebraic variety over K say that V is Diophantine Stable for the extension L/K if V(L) = V(K). That is, if `V acquires no new rational points’ when one makes the field extension from K to L. I will describe some recent results joint with Karl Rubin regarding Diophantine Stability and give a survey of related recent statistics, heuristics, and conjectures.
