Many of the main conjectures in Iwasawa theory can be phrased as saying
that the first Chern class of an Iwasawa module is generated by a p-adic
L-series.
In this talk I will describe how higher Chern classes pertain to the higher
codimension behavior of Iwasawa modules. I'll then describe a template
for conjectures which would link such higher Chern classes to elements
in the K-theory of Iwasawa algebras which are constructed from tuples of
Katz p-adic L-series. I will finally describe an instance in which a result of

The functoriality conjecture is a key ingredient in the theory of automorphic forms and the Langlands program. Given two reductive groups G and H, the principle of functoriality asserts that a map r:H^->G^ between their dual complex groups should naturally give rise to a map r*:Rep(H)->Rep(G) between their automorphic representations. In this talk, I will describe the idea of functoriality, its connection to L-functions and recent work on weak functorial lifts to the exceptional group of type G_2.

In his investigation of modular forms of half-integral weight, Shimura established, using Hecke theory, a family of relations between eigneforms of half-integral weight k+1/2 with a given level 4N and character chi and cusp forms of weight 2k and character chi^2.
The level being subsequently determined by Niwa to be at most 2N.

Abstract: Let X be a regular scheme, projective and flat over Spec Z. We
give a conjectural formula in terms of motivic cohomology, singular
cohomology and de Rham cohomology for the special value of the
zeta-function of X at any rational integer. We will explain how this
reduces to the standard formula for the residue of the Dedekind
zeta-function at s = 1.

Abstract: Calabi conjectured that the complex Monge-Ampère equation on compact Kaehler manifolds has a unique solution. This was solved by Yau in 1978. In this talk, we present a non-archimedean version on projective Berkovich spaces. In joint work with Burgos, Jell, Künnemann and Martin, we improve a result of Boucksom, Favre and Jonsson in the equicharacteristic 0 case. We give also a result in positive equicharacteristic using test ideals.

In this talk we present a database of rational elliptic curves with
good reduction outside certain finite sets of primes, including the
set {2, 3, 5, 7, 11}, and all sets whose product is at most 1000.
In fact this is a biproduct of a larger project, in which we construct
practical algorithms to solve S-unit, Mordell, cubic Thue, cubic
Thue--Mahler, as well as generalized Ramanujan--Nagell equations, and
to compute S-integral points on rational elliptic curves with given
Mordell--Weil basis.

Abstract: In the talk I will discuss classical problems concerning the distribution
of square-full numbers and their analogues over function fields. The
results described are in the context of the ring Fq[T ] of polynomials
over a finite field Fq of q elements, in the limit q → ∞.
I will also present some recent generalization of these kind of
classical problems.

Using the endoscopic classification
of automorphic forms for unitary groups,
I will prove conjecturally sharp upper
bounds for the growth of Betti numbers
in congruence towers of complex
hyperbolic manifolds. This is
joint work with Sug Woo Shin.

Let L(E/Q, s) be the L-function of an elliptic curve E defined over the rational field Q. We examine the central value L(E, 1, χ) of twists of L(E/Q, s) by Dirichlet characters χ. We discuss the vanishing and non-vanishing frequencies of these values as χ ranges over characters of fixed order greater than 2. We also examine thee square-free part of the algebraic part of L(E/F, 1) for abelian fields F/Q when these values are non-zero.

Abstract: In modern algebraic geometry we encounter the notion of derived intersection of subschemes. This is a sophisticated way to encode what happens when two subschemes Y_1 and Y_2 of a given scheme X intersect non-transversely. The classical intersection multiplicity can be extracted from the derived intersection.

We prove cases of Rietsch mirror conjecture that the quantum
connection for projective homogeneous varieties is isomorphic to the
pushforward D-module attached to Berenstein-Kazhdan geometric crystals.
The idea is to recognize the quantum connection as Galois and the
geometric crystal as automorphic. In particular we link the purity of
Berenstein-Kazhdan crystals to the Ramanujan property of certain Hecke
eigensheaves.
The isomorphism of D-modules comes from global rigidity results where a

This talk is in natural in the context of the Zagier conjecture.
We express values of the Kronecker double series at CM points in
terms of values some version (Bloch-Wigner) of dilogarithm in algebraic
numbers. As zeta-function of the Hilbert class field of quadratic field can
be expressed as combination of the Kronecker double series at CM points
my result gives explicit form of the Zagier conjecture.
My technique is rather elementary and the proof is based on the introduction
some new function (elliptic (1,1)-logarithm) and comparisons with it.

In this talk, I present an analogue of the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture on the asymptotic distribution of prime constellations in the setting of short intervals in function fields of smooth projective curves over finite fields.
I will discuss the definition of a "short interval" on a curve as an additive translation of the space of global sections of a sufficiently positive divisor E by a suitable rational function f, and show how this definition generalizes the definition of a short interval in the polynomial
setting.

In this talk we discuss some aspects concerning the arithmetic of
systems of quadratic forms. This includes a result on the frequency of
counterexamples to the Hasse principle for del Pezzo surfaces of degree
four (joint work with J. Jahnel), and a result on the representability of
integers by systems of three quadratic forms (joint work with L. B. Pierce
and M. M. Wood).
