Special Colloquium Speaker: Lue Pan (Princeton University) Title: The Fontaine-Mazur conjecture in dimension two Abstract: The Fontaine-Mazur conjecture predicts which two-dimensional p-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of Q arise from modular forms. In this talk, I will explain this conjecture by some concrete examples and report some recent progress which relies on some […]
Special Colloquium Speaker: Alex Smith (UCLA) Title: The distribution of conjugates of an algebraic integer Abstract: For every odd prime p, the number 2 + 2cos(2 pi/p) is an algebraic integer whose conjugates are all positive numbers; such a number is known as a totally positive algebraic integer. For large p, the average of the […]
