# Upcoming Meetings

## January 2017

### Unlikely Intersections, Heights, And Efficient Congruencing

ag.algebraic-geometry ca.classical-analysis-and-odes lo.logic nt.number-theory
2017-01-01 through 2017-06-30
Fields Institute, University of Toronto

Meeting Type: long-term research program

Contact: see conference website

### Description

In recent years there has been a great deal of success in applying methods of analytic number theory to questions of arithmetic geometry. This conference will focus on three topics: o-minimality, heights, and "efficient congruencing". The first two topics have been very useful in attacking conjectures regarding "special" points such as the Andre-Oort conjecture, or more generally the Zilber-Pink conjecture, while the third establishes the Hasse principle for certain varieties associated with translation-dilation invariant systems at the threshold of the convexity barrier.

This program will include several conferences, to be posted separately.

### Analytic Number Theory

ca.classical-analysis-and-odes nt.number-theory
2017-01-17 through 2017-05-26
Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, University of California, Berkeley
Berkeley, CA; USA

Meeting Type: long-term research program

Contact: see conference website

### Description

Analytic number theory, and its applications and interactions, are currently experiencing intensive progress, in sometimes unexpected directions. In recent years, many important classical questions have seen spectacular advances based on new techniques; conversely, methods developed in analytic number theory have led to the solution of striking problems in other fields.

Recent advances in analytic number theory have had repercussions in various mathematical subjects, such as harmonic analysis (including the Langlands programme), ergodic theory and dynamics (especially on homogenous spaces), additive and multiplicative combinatorics and theoretical computer science (in particular, through the theory of expander graphs).

The MSRI semester program in Spring 2017 will focus on the topic of Analytic Number Theory, with workshops and other activities focused on the most impressive recent achievements in this field. We wish not only to give the leading researchers in the area further opportunities to work together, but more importantly to give young people the occasion to learn about these topics, and to give them the tools to achieve the next breakthroughs.

This program includes several conferences, to be posted separately.

## March 2017

### Galois theory of periods and applications

ag.algebraic-geometry nt.number-theory
2017-03-27 through 2017-03-31
MSRI
Berkeley, CA; USA

Meeting Type: conference

Contact: see conference website

### Description

Periods are integrals of algebraic differential forms over algebraically-defined domains and are ubiquitous in mathematics and physics. A deep idea, originating with Grothendieck, is that there should be a Galois theory of periods. This general principle provides a unifying approach to several problems in the theory of motives, quantum groups and geometric group theory. This conference will bring together leading experts around this subject and cover topics such as the theory of multiple zeta values, modular forms, and motivic fundamental groups.

Meeting Type: conference

Contact: see conference website

### Description

The subject of p-adic analytic geometry has been booming in the last years, as regards foundational matters as well as applications. In particular, the use of fine methods from analytic geometry in the field of p-adic differential equations and D-modules has recently led to significant progress. The aim of the conference is to bring together mathematicians from various areas around those themes, experts as well as new-comers who would like to incorporate them into their research. The atmosphere at CIRM will encourage fruitful discussion and collaboration between the communities in presence.

Meeting Type: learning conference

Contact: see conference website

### Description

The “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deninger-Faltings” is a series of meetings in Oberwolfach taking place each year in spring and fall. The topic of the next meeting is chosen by democratic vote. The stay at Oberwolfach is free.

The Arbeitsgemeinschaft (study group) mainly addresses to non-specialists who want to broaden their outlook on mathematics and to young mathematicians who wish to enter a field for future research. Experts are also welcome. The idea is “learning by doing” – similar to the Seminaire Bourbaki. Participants have to volunteer for one of the lectures described in the program of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft. After the deadline for application the organizers choose the actual speakers to give them enough time to understand the subject and to prepare for their lectures. Please see our website www.mfo.de for further details.

The MFO is grateful to Prof. Dr. Christopher Deninger (Münster) and Prof. Dr. Gerd Faltings (MPI Bonn) who lead the Arbeitsgemeinschaft.

Kähler geometry is a very active research field, at the crossroads between algebraic and Riemannian geometry. Important breakthrough, that lead to solve the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture in the Fano case, have been achieved recently. A spring school involving mini-lectures and talks around this thread of new ideas in Kähler geometry is organized at Nantes University. The goal of the school is to develop certain technical skills, useful to address a variety of important questions in algebraic geometry and global analysis on manifolds, aimed for PhD students and young researchers. Geometric flows, like the Kähler-Ricci flow for instance, and the associated quantification by the Donaldson dynamical system, will be among the essential tools dealt with during the school.

### Description

The aim of the school and workshop is to bring together graduate students, postdocs, and senior researchers working in the theory of automatic sequences or in areas that have some strong connection to automatic sequences to discuss their research and foster collaboration. The workshop will have a strong focus on the applications of automata and automatic sequences to algebra and to number theory.

As part of the Aisenstadt chair of the thematic semester, Boris Adamczewski will give a series of lectures on automatic sequences which will take place during these two weeks.

SCHOOL

The school will consist of mini-courses on topics issued from combinatorics of words, algebra and number theory. This mini-courses will cover some of the algebraic and number theoretic background that will be useful for participants of the Workshop Bridges between Automatic Sequences and Algebra and Number Theory taking place the week after.

The mini-courses of the School will be given by:

– Yann Bugeaud (Université de Strasbourg) – Christophe Reutenauer (Université du Québec à Montréal) – Reem Yassawi (Université Paris Diderot-Paris 7)

Yann Bugeaud will give a minicourse about links between factor complexity, automatic numbers, transcendance and Diophantine approximation. Christophe Reutenauer will describe the correspondence between the theory Markoff numbers and the theory of Christoffel words. Reem Yassawi will give an introduction to automatic sequences, including in particular their links with algebra and number theory.

Other talks will be given by:

– Robbert Fokkink (Delft University of Technology) – Julien Leroy (Université de Liège) – Narad Rampersad (University of Winnipeg) – Eric Rowland (Hofstra University) – Štěpán Starosta (Czech Technical University in Prague) – Élise Vandomme (Université du Québec à Montréal)

We also plan sessions of exercises or experiments on computer allowing to develop intuitions on the presented mini-courses and talks.

WORKSHOP

The theory of finite automata naturally interacts, via automatic sequences and automatic sets, with algebra and number theory. Several advances have recently reinforced these deep links. The aim of this workshop is to allow researchers from different areas to meet and exchange about these advances. Among the themes to be covered by the invited talks are: transcendence and Diophantine analysis, arithmetic in positive characteristic, Galois theory of difference and differential equations, logic and model theory, analytic number theory, combinatorics and formal power series, group theory.

2017-05-28 through 2017-06-02
BIRS

Meeting Type: conference

Contact: Nils Bruin, Kiran Kedlaya, Samir Siksek, John Voight

### Description

Explicit work on moduli problems has yielded powerful new theorems in arithmetic geometry that have eluded a purely theoretical approach. The moduli approach converts the problem of classifying objects of arithmetic interest into the problem of studying rational points on varieties, to which the methods of algebraic and arithmetic geometry may be applied. There is an active community, including many young researchers, dedicated to explicitly studying rational points. This workshop will bring together researchers working on explicit moduli problems with those working on rational points to establish collaborations and stimulate further research.

In addition to providing a platform for communicating new developments, the workshop will give young researchers the opportunity to gain a strong foundation in moduli spaces going beyond those traditionally studied computationally.

University of Copenhagen, Department of Mathematics
Copenhagen; Denmark

Meeting Type: Masterclass

Contact: Ryo Horiuchi, Martin Speirs, Lars Hesselholt

### Description

Stable Homotopy theory and arithmetic geometry are two very active areas of research today. Our speakers, Thomas Nikolaus and Matthew Morrow represent two researchers at the forefront of these areas, working in different but overlapping fields. The overall motivation for this masterclass is to study the relations between these two areas of research.

In recent years stable homotopy theory has seen unexpected applications to arithmetic geometry. In particular the work of Matthew Morrow (in collaboration with Bhargav Bhatt and Peter Scholze) on integral p-adic Hodge theory was, in part, motivated by calculations of topological Hochschild homology for certain arithmetically important rings. Very recently Lars Hesselholt has used the cyclotomic structure on topological Hochschild homology to define a topological version of periodic cyclic homology and used it to give cohomological interpretations of zeta functions for schemes over finite fields. This was in part motivated by new perspectives and results on cyclotomic structures afforded by work of Thomas Nikolaus (in collaboration with Peter Scholze).

The goal of this masterclass is to study this recent progress. In particular we will focus on the work by Nikolaus and Scholze on cyclotomic spectra and the work by Bhatt, Morrow and Scholze giving integral relations between p-adic cohomology theories. The masterclass will consist of two lecture series by Matthew Morrow and Thomas Nikolaus as well as several discussion sessions.

ag.algebraic-geometry nt.number-theory

BIRS

Meeting Type: conference

Contact: see conference website

### Description

The main objectives of the proposed conference on Diophantine approximation and algebraic curves will be the study of rational and integral solutions to Diophantine equations and inequalities and the connection with algebraic curves. Since early last century and even before, Diophantine approximation has played a large role in the study of solutions to Diophantine equations, a very old and influential topic in number theory. Thue's famous theorem was subsequently refined and expanded upon, culminating in Roth's celebrated result and his winning of the Fields medal. Shortly after that, Baker's effective" methods (earning him a Fields medal) were added into the mix. Concurrently with all this, the more systematic and algebraic development of the theory of curves (as opposed to the more ad hoc methods employed previously) was championed by the likes of Artin, Chevalley and Weil. A great achievement here was Falting's famous proof of Mordell's conjecture (yet another Fields medal for these areas).

Clearly these topics have intrigued mathematicians for a very long time. The techniques applied have been varied, but machinery originating here has also found use in a wide variety of fields. To mention just one example, it was noted over a century ago that the theories being developed over the rational number field applied equally well to fields of transcendence degree one over a finite field ("function fields"). Now curves defined over finite fields and their corresponding function fields are a cornerstone of modern computer coding theory.

During the proposed conference, experts in the areas of linear forms in logarithms, heights, the subspace theorem, the connections between Diophantine approximation and Nevanlinna theory, and others will come together with those in elliptic curves, abelian varieties and other closely related subjects in algebraic geometry. It is hoped that new light may be shed and insight gained into questions such as the existence of elliptic curves of large rank, the complete solution to certain families of equations, and deeper connections between the approximation of algebraic numbers and algebraic properties of curves and surfaces.

ag.algebraic-geometry nt.number-theory
2017-07-02 through 2017-07-08
Schloss Schney; Germany

Meeting Type: conference

Contact: see conference website

### Description

This workshop is the sixth in a series that started with the workshops Rational Points on Curves - Explicit Methods and Rational Points on Curves and Higher-Dimensional Varieties: Theory and Explicit Methods held in 2005 and 2007 in Bremen, followed by the workshops Rational Points 3 and Rational Points 2013 in Thurnau in 2010 and 2013 and thw workshop Rational Points 2015 in Schney.

In the tradition of the earlier events, this workshop aims at bringing together the leading experts in the field, covering a broad spectrum reaching from the more theoretically-oriented over the explicit to the algorithmic aspects. The fundamental problem motivating the workshop asks for a description of the set of rational points X(Q) for a given algebraic variety X defined over Q. When X is a curve, the structure of this set is known, and the most interesting question is how to determine it explicitly for a given curve. When X is higher-dimensional, much less is known about the structure of X(Q), even when X is a surface. So here the open questions are much more basic for our understanding of the situation, and on the algorithmic side, the focus is on trying to decide if a given variety does have any rational point at all. Aim

By bringing together the leading experts and giving them the opportunity to present their latest results and their view on the field in general, we hope to provide a fertile basis for animated discussions. As a result, we hope to achieve a better understanding of the current state of the art and, more importantly, to identify and explore the most promising directions for future work. Format

This is a workshop with about 50 participants. Participation is by invitation. Every participant is expected to contribute actively to the success of the event, by giving talks and/or by taking part in the discussions. There will be two invited talks every morning (9:30-10:30 and 11:15-12:15); the afternoons will be available for shorter invited talks, discussions, informal talks and collaboration. Wednesday afternoon is free.

### Description

The Persistent Homology is a recent and immersive research areas. It is a homology theory adapted in an algorithmic context to the topological data analysis. It keeps track of the homology classes that still remain "persistent" when approaching a topological space by a cloud of points. The persistent homology finds applications in all research areas that involve big datas, including medicine, chemistry, music, linguistics, sports, economics, social sciences, ....

The course is intended to PhD  students who have already started research in Persistent homology, it can also  inspire  students at the end of their master to start their research in this area and finally it can interest senior and junior researchers for a re-conversion in another field of research

We plan to schedule 16 hours of courses, 6 hours of open discussion, 3 hours of Lab sessions, and 3 hours of research contributed talks.

Course title: Gromov-Witten invariants, Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten invariants, and Mixed-Spin-P fields

Cristina Manolache - Imperial College London

Course title: Boundary contributions to enumerative invariants

General description and aims of the school:

Gromov-Witten invariants, which "count" curves (with appropriate extra conditions) on smooth projective varieties, were introduced more than two decades ago; motivated by high energy physics, they ended up revolutionising enumerative algebraic geometry and provided a bridge to other branches of mathematics, such as integrable systems of differential equations.

Since then, their scope has been expanded in different directions (e.g. relaxing the smoothness conditions, replacing the variety by a stack, allowing torus actions), and techniques have been introduced for their computation; moreover, a plethora of other invariants using the same basic ideas has been introduced, leading to fruitful investigations on the relationships among them.

The aim of this school is to bring doctoral students, postdocs, and anyone interested from a review of the basic construction to current, state-of-the art research in this field, with a special focus on invariants for Calabi-Yau threefolds, the richest example both in algebraic geometry and in physics. Many important questions about these varieties are still unanswered, such as giving a mathematically rigorous definition of the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants (at the moment only available in the language of theoretical physics).

### Workshop on "G2 manifolds"

dg.differential-geometry
2017-08-21 through 2017-08-25
Fields Institute

Meeting Type: Workshop

Contact: Spiro Karigiannis

### Description

A central theme in differential geometry is the existence and classification of “optimal geometric” structures. An important class of optimal metrics in Riemannian geometry are the Einstein metrics, especially metrics with special holonomy. These include in particular the Calabi-Yau and more generally the Kaehler-Einstein metrics, the study of which is by now a classical area of research at the intersection of geometric analysis and algebraic geometry. More recently, there has been increasing interest in G2 manifolds and other Riemannian manifolds with special geometric structures (such as Spin(7) manifolds or nearly Kaehler manifolds) whose study are not amenable to classical tools of algebraic geometry. This is partly due to the fact that all of these manifolds play important roles as ingredients for compactifications in string theory and M-theory. The area began to really develop in the 1980’s and 1990’s with the pioneering work of Bryant, Salamon, Joyce, Kovalev, Hitchin, and others. It is now one of the most exciting new frontiers in geometric analysis. Some of the key objectives include constructing new complete and compact examples (both by elliptic glueing methods and by parabolic flow techniques); finding topological invariants and obstructions to existence; and understanding the local and global structure of the moduli spaces of such structures.

Speakers will be announced soon. Registration will be available on the workshop website soon.

### Motives for periods

Freie Universität

Meeting Type: summer school

Contact: see conference website

### Description

Periods are a class of complex numbers obtained by integrating algebraic differential forms over algebraically-defined domains. From the modern point of view, they appear as coefficients of the comparison isomorphism between de Rham and Betti cohomology of varieties over number fields. This is how motives enter the game.

The aim of this summer school is to introduce students to the applications of different categories of motives to concrete questions on periods. The possibility of giving non-conjectural constructions of the motivic Galois group has opened the way to major new results: a proof of Hoffman's conjecture on multiple zeta values by Brown, and a proof of a geometric analogue of the Kontsevich-Zagier conjecture by Ayoub.

### Description

During the 2017-18 academic year, the School will have a special program on Locally Symmetric Spaces: Analytical and Topological Aspects. Akshay Venkatesh of Stanford University will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor.

The topology of locally symmetric spaces interacts richly with number theory via the theory of automorphic forms (Langlands program). Many new phenomena seem to appear in the non-Hermitian case (e.g., torsion cohomology classes, relations with mixed motives and algebraic K-theory, derived nature of deformation rings). One focus of the program will be to try to better understand some of these phenomena.

Much of our understanding of this topology comes through analysis ("Hodge theory"). Indeed harmonic analysis on locally symmetric spaces plays a foundational role in the theory of automorphic forms and is of increasing importance in analytic number theory. A great success of such harmonic analysis is the Arthur-Selberg trace formula; on the other hand, the analytic aspects of the trace formula are not fully developed, and variants such as the relative trace formula are not as well understood. Thus analysis on such spaces, interpreted broadly, will be another focus of the program.

### Description

lass groups of number fields and their cardinalities (i.e, class numbers) have been well studied since the time of Gauss. The study of class groups of number fields became the heart of algebraic number theory after the efforts of Kummer (towards FLT), Dedekind, Kronecker etc. In spite of long history of active research, class groups and their cardinalities remain one of the most mysterious object in algebraic number theory with exceptions like 'finiteness of imaginary quadratic fields with class number one'.

There are two directions which are actively being explored in last 50 years or so. One being the study of annihilators of class groups (results of Iwasawa and Sinnot being corner stone), and, the other being Cohen-Lenstra heuristics. Annihilators of class groups give vital informations about class numbers (e.g. Theorems of Iwasawa and Sinnot) and P. Mihailescu used them very cleverly to solve the longstanding conjecture of Catalan. Though, we are far from proving Cohen-Lenstra heuristics but there has been many small steps in this direction in last 50 years. Infinitude of family of number fields of a given degree with class number divisible by a given number has been established by many mathematicians. Moreover some significant results have been obtained due to efforts of a few mathematicians on the density of quadratic number fields with class number a multiple of a given integer.

Another aspect which we shall highlight during the conference is the computation of class numbers of cyclotomic fields. Computing class number of cyclotomic fields is extremely tedious and we have such computations available only for cyclotomic fields of prime conductor less than 70 (and up to 163 under GRH). In an article, R. Schoof considers a subgroup of class group of maximal real subfield of p-th cyclotomic field whose cardinality can be computed easily. Schoof speculates that, most likely, this subgroup equals the class group of maximal real subfield. If the speculation of Schoof is proven right then it will make computation of class number of cyclotomic fields very easy.

The aim of this conference is to bring various experts on the subject at one place and provide young number theorists of the country a very needed thrust (it is after long time this topic is being highlighted so exclusively, even worldwide). Also we hope that this will kindle interest of upcoming generation in Algebraic Number Theory.

Contact: see conference website

### Description

A summer school and workshop will take place in Bucharest in September 2017. Their goal is to cover some active topics in algebraic geometry: homological methods, discrete and arithmetic aspects, and singularities. Besides the mathematics, a special feature of this event will be a close relation to the George Enescu Music Festival, which takes place in Bucharest every other year. Moreover, an IMAGINARY exhibition will be presented during the three weeks of the festival, and further events involving a direct interaction of mathematics and music - and of mathematicians and musicians - are planned.

Limited financial support for participants will be available. Priority will be given to Ph.D. students and early career researchers with excellent scientific recommendations and exceptional promise. The application deadline for financial support is 1st June 2017.

Topics:

Homological methods Syzygies of a projective variety are very fine numerical invariants that control the embedding of the variety. From the syzygies, one can easily recover the Hilbert function, however, their outmost importance comes from the fact that they carry intrinsic geometric properties. They can be used to extract information on the geometry of moduli spaces of polarized varieties.

Discrete aspects They originate in the theory of toric varieties linking algebraic varieties to convex geometry and combinatorics. Nowadays, the field has expanded into several directions like tropical geometry, Berkovich-spaces, and Newton-Okounkov bodies. Algebro-geometric theories like the minimal model program have counterparts in discrete geometry.

Singularities Singularity theory is essential in the classification of algebraic varieties. While the classification in dimension one and two can be done in the smooth setting, from dimension three on the minimal model program heavily relies on singular varieties. Moreover, they play an interesting role in mirror symmetry where resolutions and deformations are interchanged.

Arithmetic geometry With Peter Scholze being one of the speakers for a series of four lectures, we shall focus on perfectoid spaces, and integral de Rham theory. With Yves André being one of the lecturers, we shall have some emphasis on motivic theory over fields, and periods. In addition, we expect some activity around the study of rational points and the index of specific varieties over p-adic fields and number fields. This should be covered by Olivier Wittenberg and other mathematicians around him.

### Description

These exciting new trends emerging in the field are of course deeply interwoven, as we already mentioned, and by hosting this workshop we hope to encourage new progress in these areas by promoting both predictable and unpredictable synergies between them. For example, extending the scope of p-adic cohomology will require a more sophisticated view of the foundations of the subject in order to cope with these more general situations, and will in turn feed into many of the other areas of interest, in particular representation theory and the local Langlands correspondence by providing a more powerful language in which to discuss these questions. It is important to note that p

-adic cohomology is often characterised by a plethora of different approaches to the subject, each of which has its own particular perspective and scope of application. By drawing together people working on all aspects of the theory, and building on the successful conference hosted by 2 of the organisers at Imperial College London in March 2015, we will provide a platform for a cross-fertilisation of the raft of new ideas in all these different approaches, and stimulate new developments across the whole breadth of the subject. Here we list a few topics and the expected interactions which we hope to foster via the workshop.

Foundations and theory over non-perfect fields} Traditionally, p -adic cohomology theories have been expressed for varieties over perfect ground fields of characteristic p . While much of the theory still works over non-perfect fields, arithmetic considerations (in particular the general phenomenon of semistable reduction, as well as analogies with the ℓ -adic theory) lead one to expect certain refinements of existing p -adic cohomologies (such as rigid cohomology) when working over such non-perfect fields. As a first step in this direction, the basics of this picture have been recently worked out over the simplest of non-perfect fields, namely Laurent series field in one variable, which has paved the way for a whole host of applications, such as a p -adic version of the weight monodromy conjecture and good reduction criteria for curves. This approach appears to be a rich source of new arithmetic results on varieties in characteristic p , although there is still much more foundational work to be done, both in the case of Laurent series fields and in terms of moving towards other examples such as global fields or higher dimensional local fields. On there other hand the groundbreaking work of Caro in the last decade has culminated in the proof of the existence of a 6 operations formalism in p -adic cohomology, including a full theory of weights \cite{padicwt . We expect to see interactions between these two strides of research, and the workshop will provide the perfect environment to achieve this.

The Langlands program and links with representation theory} One of the importance of the original theory of algebraic D -modules, which is over a field of characteristic zero, is that it has various application to representation theory. Beilinson--Bernstein correspondence is one of the most famous such examples. About 20 years ago Berthelot proposed a framework to establish a 6 functor formalism for schemes over fields of positive characteristics by pursuing an analogy with algebraic D -modules, and named it arithmetic D -module theory. With the above mentioned work of Caro, the foundations of the theory are essentially in place, and attention is turning to a new stage. As in the classical situation, it is hoped that the theory will prove a powerful tool for representation theory, including the p -adic Langlands program. A similar such application of D -module theory over rigid analytic spaces over p -adic fields has been already found by Ardakov--Wadsley \cite{ardwad , who used their theory to answer some representation theoretical problems which arose in the new p-adic local Langlands program.

There is a closely related work of Huyghe, Patel, Schmidt and Strauch on localisation theorems in the setting of arithmetic D -modules of Berthelot (see [HPSS}) which proves that there is an equivalence of categories between the category of locally analytic admissible representations of some split reductive group over a finite extension of Qp, and the category of coadmissible arithmetic D-modules over the rigid analytic space attached to the flag variety of the group. Similarly, the 6 operations formalism has been used by Abe \cite{abelang} to prove a p-adic Langlands correspondence in the function field setting, and thus prove Deligne's petits camarades cristallins" conjecture on the existence of p-adic companions to compatible systems of ℓ-adic Galois representations (at least over curves). Finally let us mention the work of Christian Johannsson, who studied the classicality for small slope overconvergent automorphic forms on certain higher dimensional Shimura varieties (see \cite{Jo]), a work whose primary innovation is to use a robust formalism of p-adic cohomology. These works all represent different aspects of the p-adic Langlands program, both over number fields and function fields, and all rely heavily on the methods of p-adic cohomology. Promoting co-operation between the experts of this subject and the leaders of the foundational theory of p

-adic cohomology will therefore be essential in progressing this exciting new direction of research.

The de Rham--Witt complex and Iwasawa theory} One of the original motivations of Grothendieck and Berthelot for inventing crystalline cohomology as a p -adic companion to the family of ℓ -adic cohomologies produced by the \'{e}tale theory was to explain p -torsion phenomenon. While integral crystalline cohomology achieves this for smooth and proper varieties, the extension to a good' cohomology theory for arbitrary varieties, which reached its zenith in the proof of the 6 operations formalism by Caro, has been achieved only for rational coefficients, i.e. after tensoring with Q . This therefore still leaves open the question of what an integral p -adic theory should look like for open or singular varieties, which has been the subject of much recent work in the field, in particular the study of the overconvergent de Rham--Witt complex by Davis, Langer and Zink \cite{dlz . This now seems to provide a good candidate for smooth (but possibly open) varieties, although there are still many important open questions still to answer, including comparisons with other candidates such as integral Monsky--Washnitzer cohomology.

This is very closely related to the study of p -adic properties of L-functions in characteristic p where most of the work recently has been done on 1-dimensional families of abelian varieties, for example [KT}, \cite{Pa} and \cite{TV} which look at the refined Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, the integrality of p-adic L-functions and the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture, respectively. What is common in these works is the crucial use of integral p

-adic cohomology theories predating the construction in \cite{dlz], typically log crystalline cohomology. Therefore they are forced either to reduce the general case to the semi-stable one, or worse, restrict to the situation when the abelian scheme is semi-stable and the considered Galois covers of the base are tame. This demonstrate the limitations of these methods, but with sufficient progress on the finiteness properties of the the overconvergent de Rham--Witt complex we expect that this area would start to develop very rapidly.

Relations with function field arithmetic} We already mentioned the deep analogy and the cross-fertilisation which occurred between p -adic Hodge theory and its function field analogue at a crucial point of their development. However there are other areas of p -adic cohomology and function field arithmetic which are closely analogous and more intimate interaction would benefit both. For example a central object of study in function field arithmetic is Goss L -functions of function field motives (see for example [T1]). These motives have a cohomological theory with a trace formula (see \cite{BP1 ), but the theory does not admit 6 operations. It would greatly benefit the topic if the methods of p-adic cohomology were successfully transported into it. On there hand the transcendence theory of special values of Goss L-functions is highly developed, but uses cohomological, Tannakian and analytic methods which would be very familiar to experts of p-adic cohomology (such as Dwork's trick) if they knew them. We hope that workshop could bring the birth of a brand new transcendence theory of p-adic periods in characteristic p.

### Automorphic Forms, Mock Modular Forms and String Theory

Meeting Type: conference

Contact: see conference website

### Description

The main objective of this workshop is to gather physicists and mathematicians working on automorphic forms, mock modular forms, black holes and moonshine in an effort to foster cross-fertilisations between these different fields. Over the last few years there have been numerous conferences devoted to the connection between mock modular forms, moonshine and string the- ory, but at these meetings the community of mathematicians working on automorphic forms and automorphic representations is usually absent. It is also our impression that mathematicians working on the Langlands program are usually unaware that many similar structures occur naturally in string theory. Thus, this proposed meeting will be dedicated to stimulating the exchange of ideas and perspectives coming from these seemingly disparate fields. This will focus parallel research activities in different fields and the BIRS workshop format and the BIRS facilities provide an ideal environment for this endeavor.

Specifically, the workshop will focus on the following cross-disciplinary areas:

• The connection between string theory amplitudes and small automorphic representations. The most supersymmetric string theory scattering processes have been interpreted as very small auto- morphic representations. Less supersymmetric processes call for an in-depth study of increasingly larger automorphic representation.

• Representation theoretic aspects of mock modular forms. Classical modular forms have a natural interpretation in terms of representation theory of reductive groups. What about mock modular forms?

• Automorphic forms on Kac-Moody groups and their relation with string amplitudes in low dimensions. The theory of automorphic forms on Kac-Moody groups and especially their Fourier ex- pansion needs to be developed further for understanding low-dimensional string theory amplitudes.

• Mock modular forms and Siegel modular forms in umbral moonshine. Umbral moonshine gives rise to a rich family of Jacobi forms and mock modular forms. Jacobi forms can be lifted to Siegel modular forms. What is the corresponding lift of the associated mock modular forms?

• Connections between umbral moonshine and Calabi-Yau compactifications of string theory. A proper string theory understand- ing of Mathieu or umbral moonshine in terms of a an underlying con- formal field theory is currently lacking.

• Automorphic representations and black hole counting. Understanding the microscopic origin of the entropy of a black hole requires counting black hole states in string theory. Since the same states also contribute to the Fourier expansion of automorphic forms, the counting problem could be rephrased in automorphic terms.

### Description

This workshop will bring together leading researchers from complex dynamics, non-Archimedean analysis and geometry, and algebraic and arithmetic geometry, with the goal of making progress on current problems in arithmetic dynamics. Recent breakthroughs have come from groups of mathematicians whose backgrounds span these varied disciplines. We will focus on sharing ideas and tools among researchers from diverse specialties in hopes of inspiring new questions and collaborations in arithmetic dynamics.

Arithmetic dynamics is an exciting and relatively new field, with many significant recent developments, so we plan to include a considerable number of young researchers. Our intended list of participants also includes a number of experts in complex dynamics and arithmetic geometry, since much of arithmetic dynamics concerns the connections between these two fields. For instance, the recent work on unlikely intersections in complex dynamics originated with a collaboration between non-Archimedean analyst Baker and complex dynamicist DeMarco, inspired by questions of arithmetic geometers Poonen, Masser, and Zannier. The workshop will sustain these extant collaborations, and found new cross-discipline research groups. To encourage this, the workshop will include casual open problem sessions on selected evenings during the week, and a speaker schedule that allows for interaction and discussion between talks.

We believe that the diverse group of researchers at the workshop will inspire many new questions in arithmetic dynamics and related fields; however, the workshop will focus on three main areas of research to guide the talks and open problem sessions.

Objective 1 (Unlikely intersections).} Bring participants up to date on recent progress in unlikely intersections in complex dynamics and in Diophantine geometry, and discuss the technical obstacles which must be overcome for future research, for example, towards developing a clean, well-formulated dynamical Andr\'e-Oort conjecture. Also of primary interest will be possibilities towards proving higher-dimensional versions of this conjecture, since all proved cases to date concern 1-dimensional varieties. Current results in this direction include progress on the dynamical analogs of well-known conjectures in arithmetic geometry, such as Mordell-Lang, Manin-Mumford, and Andr\'e-Oort [BD, BGT,Xie:DML, DF, GTZ, DWY, GKN, GKNY, GHT}. The dynamical proofs use a rich collection of techniques which include the deep equidistribution theorems of~\cite{BR, CL, FRL, YZ, Zhang:ICM], classical techniques of complex analysis and potential theory, and Ritt's theory of decomposition of polynomials, and are all illustrative of the general principle of unlikely intersections in arithmetic geometry, as in \cite{Andre, BMZ, O.

Objective 2 (non-Archimedean geometry/analysis).} Discuss the status of equidistribution theorems in various contexts, building on work of \cite{FRL, BR, CL, YZ, and the earlier ideas of Szpiro-Ullmo-Zhang, used to study abelian varieties. We now that we understand that weaker hypotheses are needed for various applications, and also that equidstribution does not always hold, even for "nice" height functions. As examples, there is the recent (non-dynamical) work of Rivera-Letelier, Burgos Gil, Philippon, and Sombra, studying the equidistribution on toric varieties, and the dynamical example of DeMarco, Wang and Ye showing that a desired adelic metrized line bundle" in the sense of Zhang is not always adelic. The existing equidistribution theorems have been used in many dynamical applications recently.

Objective 3 (Heights in arithmetic dynamics).} The concept of height plays a key role in arithmetic geometry, for example in Falting's proof of the Mordell conjecture and the proof of the Bogomolov conjecture by Szpiro-Ullmo-Zhang. In arithmetic dynamics, they are everywhere. Given a rational self-map of a projective variety defined over a number field, Silverman has formulated several conjectures that relate the asymptotic growth of the height along the orbit to quantities such as the dynamical degrees of the map. Special cases of these conjectures were recently proved in~\cite{Silverman:canheights, KS13,KS14,JW,JR. The workshop will feature new developments in this area, as well as related topics such as heights for finitely generated extensions of the rational numbers as studied by Moriwaki or Yuan-Zhang.

### Description

ECC is the annual workshop dedicated to the study of elliptic-curve cryptography and related areas of modern cryptography, for more information, also about past editions of ECC, please see the main ECC website. The 21st Workshop on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC 2017) will take took place on November 13–15, 2017, in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. The workshop is accompanied by a 3-day "summer" school on elliptic curves aimed at getting graduate students involved in the area. The "summer" school will take take place on November 9–11, 2017. The aim of ECC is to bring together leading experts from academia, industry, and government, as well as young researchers and graduate students for the purpose of exchanging ideas and presenting their work. The ECC Workshops has invited presentations only. Presentations tend to give an overview on emerging or established areas of modern cryptography, often combined with new research findings and often lead to new collaborations between attendees.

### Description

The homological conjectures in commutative algebra are a network of conjectures that have generated a tremendous amount of activity in the last 50 years. They had largely been resolved for commutative rings that contain a field, but, with the exception of some low dimensional cases, several remained open in mixed characteristic --- until recently, when Yves Andr\'e announced a proof of Hochster's Direct Summand Conjecture. The progress comes from systematically applying Scholze's theory of perfectoid spaces, which had already shown its value by solving formidable problems in number theory and representation theory. One of the goals of the workshop is to cover the ingredients going into the proofs of the Direct Summand Conjecture.

### Description

Derived algebraic geometry is an extension of algebraic geometry that provides a convenient framework for directly treating non-generic geometric situations (such as non-transverse intersections in intersection theory), in lieu of the more traditional perturbative approaches (such as the “moving” lemma). This direct approach, in addition to being conceptually satisfying, has the distinct advantage of preserving the symmetries of the situation, which makes it much more applicable. In particular, in recent years, such techniques have found applications in diverse areas of mathematics, ranging from arithmetic geometry, mathematical physics, geometric representation theory, and homotopy theory. This semester long program will be dedicated to exploring these directions further, and finding new connections.
