Forschungsseminar Algebraische Geometrie
Diophantine problems and the $p$-adic period morphism (after Lawrence and Venkatesh)
We will study the new proof of the Mordell conjecture (Faltings’s theorem) recently given by B. Lawrence and A. Venkatesh. This combines methods of number theory, algebraic geometry, complex geometry, and differential geometry/topology. For further details, see the seminar program.
Date: Thursday, 2-4 pm, WSC-N-U-3.05. First meeting: Oct. 18.
