Fall 2001
|
The first two meetings this semester are largely devoted to
zeta functions in order to prepare for the meeting on Sep 17.
In four lectures Daqing Wan will give a reasonably self-contained introduction to the proof of Dwork's conjecture, at the level of "linear algebra and calculus" over "p-adic power series rings". The general theme of these lectures is geometric and arithmetic variation of zeta functions over finite fields. René Schoof, Bart de Smit and Hendrik Lenstra will give three lectures to review basic properties and examples of zeta functions in an arithmetic setting. | |

Diangle groups and their deformations
Abstract: Triangle groups are a well known object in the theory of Riemann surfaces. This talk is about the fact that "diangle groups" exist in the theory of non-archimedean uniformization of curves in positive characteristic, how to classify them and use them to determine automorphism groups of Mumford curves (analogue of Hurwitz's bound) and equivariant deformation spaces of such curves. |
