Special year on p-adic arithmetic geometry
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
During the 2023-24 academic year the School will have a special program on the p -adic arithmetic geometry, organized by Jacob Lurie and Bhargav Bhatt, who will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor.
The last decade has witnessed some remarkable foundational advances in p-adic arithmetic geometry (e.g., the creation of perfectoid geometry and the ensuing reorganization of p-adic Hodge theory). These advances have already led to breakthroughs in multiple different areas of mathematics (e.g., significant progress in the Langlands program and the resolution of multiple long-standing conjectures in commutative algebra), have uncovered new phenomena that merit further investigation (e.g., the discovery of new structures on algebraic K-theory, new period spaces in p-adic analytic geometry, and new bounds on torsion in singular cohomology), and have made hitherto inaccessible terrains more habitable (e.g., birational geometry in mixed characteristic). This special year intends to bring together a mix of people interested in various facets of the subject, with an eye towards sharing ideas and questions across fields.

Degree d points on algebraic surfaces
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the study of degree d points on algebraic surfaces over a number field.
The study of degree d points on algebraic curves over ℚ is a rich and mature area of research, with the Abel-Jacobi map and the Mordell-Lang conjecture providing powerful tools for exploration. However, for higher dimensional varieties there is no such approach that works in general. Because of this, we lack even a conjectural framework for understanding which higher dimensional varieties over ℚ should have "many" degree d points.
The workshop will focus on questions aimed at addressing this dearth, concentrating on the case of algebraic surfaces. For instance, what does it mean for a surface over ℚ to have "many" degree d points? What are some geometric constructions that give rise to abundant degree d points? Are these related to geometric measures of irrationality? If HilbdX has a Zariski dense set of ℚ-points for some small d, does that yield any arithmetic or geometric consequences for X? If X embeds into its Albanese, can we obtain results analogous to that of curves?
Participants will be researchers from a broad array of backgrounds (e.g., arithmetic of surfaces, geometry of Hilbert schemes of surfaces, geometric measures of irrationality, arithmetic of 0-cycles, to name a few), ideally with a curiosity and interest in arithmetic questions.
This event will be run as an AIM-style workshop. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.

International Conference on L-functions and Automorphic Forms
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
This conference is devoted to the areas of L-functions and autmorphic forms. In particular, it focusses on the interactions between both fields, which have a long and fruitful history since the fundamental work by Hecke about 90 years ago. The topics will focus on new developments around the areas indicated in the title, as well as establishing and furthering dialogue on new developments at the boundary of these areas. Given the ubiquity of automorphic forms throughout number theory as well as their strong interaction with the field of L-functions, it is very reasonable to expect that both areas will benefit from each other in the future as well. It is likely that this would lead to ideas more broadly useful in other areas of pure mathematics as well as to new types of objects to inspect and new structural questions within both fields.
The Ceresa Cycle in Arithmetic and Geometry
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
In the 1980s, Ceresa exhibited one of the first naturally occurring examples of an algebraic cycle, the Ceresa cycle, that is in general homologically trivial but algebraically nontrivial. In the last few years, there has been a renewed interest in the Ceresa cycle, and other cycle classes associated to curves over arithmetically interesting fields, and their interactions with analytic, combinatorial, and arithmetic properties of those curves. We hope to capitalize on this momentum to bring together different communities of arithmetic geometers to fully explore explicit computations around the arithmetic and geometry of cycles, when these various approaches are systematically combined.

Description
After the success and impact of Spec(Q⎯⎯⎯⎯), held at the Fields Institute in 2022, Spec(Q¯(2πi)) again aims to celebrate and promote research advances of LGBTQ2I (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, 2-spirit , Intersex) mathematicians specialising in algebraic geometry, arithmetic geometry, commutative algebra, and number theory. The first edition of the conference proved to be extremely important to lay the foundations for a fertile, supportive and stimulating scientific queer community in the areas of algebraic geometry, commutative algebra and number theory. Building on the strengths of the first edition, Spec(Q¯(2πi)) will create an empowering and engaging environment which provides LGBTQ2I visibility in algebraic geometry, will support junior LGBTQ2I academics, and will crystallise new collaborative networks for participants.
Algebraic geometry, classically, is the study of the geometry of solutions of polynomial equations; through modern advances it has become an intersectional mathematical field, drawing from various aspects of algebra, number theory, geometry, combinatorics and even mathematical physics. This conference aims to highlight strong mathematical research in a wide array of topics in algebraic geometry, broadly defined. The conference will feature some plenary talks by world-leading researchers from a range of areas of algebraic geometry. To facilitate new connections across the various threads of algebraic geometry, plenary talks at Spec(Q¯(2πi)) will be aimed at a general algebro-geometric audience.
Algebraic K-theory and Brauer groups
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
Algebraic geometry is the field of mathematics which concerns the study of spaces cut out by polynomial equations. This workshop concern the interaction of two important objects in algebraic geometry - the K-groups and the Brauer group. In algebraic geometry, we study spaces via invariants - the procedure of attaching simpler, more "linear" objects to these spaces in the hope of extracting information about them. Both the K-groups and Brauer group are such examples which have had an excellent track record in being both powerful and accessible at the same time. Roughly speaking, the K-groups are built out from \emph{vector bundles} on such a space - a continuous assignment of vector spaces on each point of the space. On the other hand the Brauer groups are built from "twisted" vector bundles.
Both invariants have had a history of interaction and cross-pollination and the goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in both areas to share their research and pave the way for even more fruitful interaction in the future. We are particularly excited about the prospect of new, field-driving questions to come out from this workshop.
Recent Progress on Hilbert’s 12th Problem
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
Hilbert’s twelfth problem asks for explicit constructions of the abelian extensions of a given number field, similar to what is known for the rational numbers and for imaginary quadratic fields. These abelian extensions are known as class fields because their Galois groups are identified with certain generalized ideal class groups. In the two known cases, the class fields are obtained via the adjunction of roots of unity and of torsion points on elliptic curves with complex multiplication. These are special values of complex analytic functions – the exponential function and elliptic functions with complex multiplication. Hilbert may have envisioned the use of special values of complex analytic functions to construct class fields of more general base fields.
In the 1970s, Harold Stark proposed a strikingly original approach to the generation of class fields, based on his conjectures on the leading term of Artin L-functions at s = 0 [St75]. In the case of abelian L-functions with a simple zero at s = 0, Stark predicted that the first derivative was the logarithm of a unit in the respective class field [St76], so exponentiating this derivative would give a generator for the abelian extension. In the two known cases, this reduced to the theory of circular and elliptic units, thanks to Dirichlet’s analytic class number formula and Kronecker’s limit formula. Although there is now extensive computational evidence that Stark’s conjecture is correct, there has been little progress on its solution.
In the 1980s Benedict Gross formulated some p-adic [Gr82] and tame [Gr88] analogues of Stark’s conjectures, which gave more information on the p-adic expansions of the conjectural units. Since the p adic L-functions involved in Gross’s conjecture are related to certain Galois modules via the main conjecture in Iwasawa theory, these conjectures have proved more amenable than their complex analogs. Refinements of the Gross-Stark conjecture were proposed in [DD06], and the p-adic conjectures of [Gr82] was proved in [DDP11]. This line of argument has culminated in the recent work of Samit Dasgupta and Mahesh Kakde [DKa], [DKb] which, by proving a large part of the conjectures of [Gr88] (along with the refinement [DD06] of the conjectures of [Gr82] in the broader setting of totally real fields) leads to a p−adic solution to Hilbert’s twelfth problem for this large class of fields.
The goal of this workshop is to take stock of this striking recent development and of other progress around the theme of related approaches to explicit class field theory. The key to much of the progress over the years is the careful study of p-adic and tame deformations of modular forms, most notably, of Hilbert modular Eisenstein series. The p-adic interpolation of classical Eisenstein series was introduced by Jean-Pierre Serre [Se72] to study the congruences of special values of L-functions and the construction of p-adic L-functions for totally real fields, and was further developed by Barry Mazur and Andrew Wiles in their proof of the main conjecture of Iwasawa theory [MW84]. The workshop will focus on the breakthroughs in [DKa] and [DKb], with a lecture series by the two authors forming the cornerstone of the activity.

p-adic Families of Automorphic Forms: Theories and Applications
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
The idea of p-adic families of automorphic forms grew out of work of Serre and Swinnerton-Dyer in the 70s exploring congruences between the q-expansion coefficients of modular forms. Work of Hida, Coleman and Mazur made the investigation of p-adic families one of the central topics in the arithmetic of modular forms. In the following decades there were striking applications to the construction of p-adic L-functions, Iwasawa theory and modularity of Galois representations.
One powerful organising principle has been to parametrize p-adic modular forms (or, more generally, p-adic automorphic forms) by p-adic analytic spaces known as eigenvarieties (or eigencurves, in the one-dimensional case originally considered by Coleman and Mazur). Our understanding of the geometry of eigenvarieties and their relationship to moduli spaces of Galois representations has rapidly developed, but there are still many important open questions.
An overarching objective of this meeting will be to bring together people working on the different theories of p-adic automorphic forms and various applications (or potential applications). We hope that this will inspire new collaborations and insights.

Explicit methods in number theory
Meeting Type: workshop
Contact: Karim Belabas, Bjorn Poonen, Fernando Rodriguez Villegas
Description
The aim of this meeting is to bring together people attacking key problems in number theory via techniques involving concrete or computable descriptions. Here, number theory is interpreted broadly, including algebraic and analytic number theory, Galois theory and inverse Galois problems, arithmetic of curves and higher-dimensional varieties, zeta and L-functions and their special values, and modular forms and functions. Considerable attention is paid to computational issues, but the emphasis is on aspects that are of interest to the pure mathematician.
Because of limited space, participation is by invitation only.
Number Theory in the Americas 2
Meeting Type: collaborative research workshop
Contact: see conference website
Description
In 2019, the organizers created a workshop called Number Theory in the Americas, which brought together junior and senior mathematicians from North, Central, and South America, to work together on research projects. The workshop resulted in at least seven publications, and served as a first collaboration experience for many of the junior researchers. The organizers propose to create a follow-up workshop in order to provide collaboration opportunities for the PhD students and postdocs who were too young to participate the last time. The workshop will be held in Spanish in order to erase the additional obstacle of communicating in English. We will welcome native and non-native speakers alike.
Our workshop is modeled after several other workshops that have been successful at fostering mathematical collaboration. Participants will be divided into small project groups (3-5 participants) containing a mix of junior and senior researchers. Each group will be led by one or two senior mathematicians. Project groups will be assigned based on research area, with care taken to ensure that each group contains researchers from both continents who have not previously worked together. Background reading will be sent to project group members several months in advance so that they are prepared to work on their respective problems together when they arrive in Oaxaca. The bulk of the workshop will be devoted to working in the project groups, but there will be introductory talks on the first day and final reports on the last day. There will also be panel discussions on topics of particular interest to junior researchers. The expectation is not that each project group will write a paper by the end of the week. Rather, it is meant to be an opportunity to exchange ideas and a starting point for potential future collaboration.

Special Year on Arithmetic Geometry, Hodge Theory, and O-minimality
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
During the 2025-26 academic year the School will have a special program on Arithmetic Geometry, Hodge Theory, and O-minimality. Jacob Tsimerman, University of Toronto will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor.
The purpose of this special year will focus on recent developments in hodge theory and o-minimality and their applications to arithmetic geometry. There has been much progress over the last 15 years in using transcendental uniformization maps to study arithmetic questions (general shafarevich theorems, results on unlikely intersections, general bounds on rational point counts). It has become increasingly clear that hodge theory (both classical and P-adic) and the resulting period maps form a natural home for these kinds of investigations to arise. In the other direction, O-minimality has been applied with success to make progress on questions in Hodge theory (Griffiths conjecture, definable period maps), and has recently had its own explosion of results (sharply O-minimal sets, the resolution of Wilkie's conjecture).
The goal of this year will be to bring together researchers in these different fields, with the aim of extending the collaboration between areas, share key insights, and investigate how far existing methods can be pushed.
