Description:

Period domains are open subsets of generalized flag varieties that parametrize Hodge structures. The study of analogous objects in the p-adic context has a rich history, rooted in a question posed by Grothendieck, and has seen notable progress in recent years due to some new insights into the nature of p-adic Hodge structures. This course will try to provide an introduction to the general theory of p-adic period domains as defined by Rapoport and Zink, which can be viewed as a natural generalization of the Drinfeld upper half-spaces.

Prerequisite:

Having a basic understanding of algebraic geometry and number theory concepts is essential. Knowledge of p-adic Hodge theory and algebraic groups would be helpful, though only basic concepts are required, which will be reviewed during the course.

Reference:

1. Period domains over finite and p-adic fields (J.-F. Dat, S. Orlik, M. Rapoport)

2. Period spaces for p-divisible groups (M. Rapoport, T. Zink)
