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.
Abstract:
Motivated by understanding the action of Hecke operators on special sub-varieties of Shimura varieties, we consider the simplest possible case: the action of Hecke operators on the j-line, namely on the moduli space of elliptic curves, and in particular the action on singular moduli. Our interest is in this action considered in the p-adic topology. The emerging picture is surprisingly rich and the answers involve Serre-Tate coordinates, the Gross-Hopkins period map and finally involves random walks on GL_n.
This is joint work with Payman Kassaei (King's College).

A natural question is whether there exists a continuous p-adic analogue
for the classical local Langlands correspondence for GL_n(F) .
Namely, for a finite extension F of Q_p, we want to associate continuous p -adic representations of GL_n(F) to n-dimensional p-adic representations of the Weil group of F.
The particular case, where F=Q_p and n=2 , is now known. One of the main tools for establishing this correspondence was the existence of GL_2(Q_p)-invariant norms in certain representations of GL_2(Q_p).
Abstract: In 1981, Sansuc obtained a formula for Tamagawa numbers of reductive groups over number fields, modulo some then unknown results on the arithmetic of simply connected groups which have since been proven, particularly Weil's conjecture on Tamagawa numbers over number fields. One easily deduces that this same formula holds for all linear algebraic groups over number fields. Sansuc's method still works to treat reductive groups in the function field setting, thanks to the recent resolution of Weil's conjecture in the function field setting by Lurie and Gaitsgory.
Abstract: This talk will be about joint work with Eyal Goren about the
structure of Picard modular surfaces at a prime p which is inert in the
underlying quadratic imaginary field. The main tool for studying the bad
reduction of Shimura varieties is the theory of local models (due to de
Jong and Rapoport-Zink). Our results concern global geometric questions
which go beyond the theory of global models. For example, we are able to
count supersingular curves on the Picard surface. We also study certain
Abstract: my talk will be devoted to a basic theory of extensions of
complete real-valued fields L/K. Naturally, one says that L is
topologically-algebraically generated over K by a subset S if L lies
in the completion of the algebraic closure of K(S). One can then define
topological analogues of algebraic independence, transcendence degree, etc.
These notions behave much more wierd than their algebraic analogues. For example,
there exist non-invertible continuous K-endomorphisms of the completed
I discuss some class of function of several elliptic variables,
this functions generalize multiple polylogarithms of D. Zagier.
I show some applications of developed formalism.
This is a joint work with F. Brown.
Abstract: Inseparable morphisms proved to be
an important tool for the study of algebraic
varieties in characteristic p. In particular,
Rudakov-Shafarevitch, Miyaoka and Ekedahl
have constructed a dictionary between
"height 1" foliations in the tangent bundle
and "height 1" purely inseparable quotients
of a non-singular variety in characteristic p.
In a joint work with Eyal Goren we use this
dictionary to study the special fiber S of a
unitary Shimura variety of signature (n,m),
Abstract: I will start with a motivation of what algebraic (and model-theoretic) properties
an algebraically closed field of characteristic 1 is expected to have. Then I will explain
how these properties can be obtained by the well-known in model theory Hrushovski's
construction and then formulate very precise axioms that such a field must satisfy.
The axioms have a form of statements about existence of solutions to systems
of equations in terms of a 'multi-dimansional' valuation theory and the validity
Abstract: In the last five years Bridgeland stability has revolutionized
our understanding of the geometry of moduli spaces of sheaves on surfaces,
allowing us to compute ample and effective cones and describe different
birational models. In this talk, I will survey some of my joint work with
Daniele Arcara, Aaron Bertram, Jack Huizenga and Matthew Woolf on the
birational geometry of moduli spaces of sheaves on the plane. I will
describe the ample and effective cones of these moduli spaces,
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
