BIMSA-YMSC Number Theory Lunch Seminar

Speaker:Tinhinane Amina Azzouz
Organizer:Yong Suk Moon, Koji Shimizu
Time:12-1 pm on September 27
Venue:BIMSA A4-1

Title: p-adic differential equations and radii of convergence

Abstract: In the ultrametric setting, linear differential equations persent features that do not appear over the complex field. In this talk, I will present some examples of these features. Especially I will talk about the radii of convergence of the solutions, and explain why they are powerfull invariants of the equation.


Note: The lunch gathering starts at noon, and the talk begins at 12:15.

About the Seminar: This is an in-person seminar at BIMSA over lunch, aimed to promote communications in the Number Theory teams at BIMSA and YMSC. Each talk is 45 minutes long and does not focus on research results. Instead, we encourage each speaker to discuss either (1) a basic notion in Number Theory or related fields or (2) applications or computational aspects of Number Theory. People interested in Number Theory are welcome to attend.

Title: Numbers in modular tensor categories

Abstract: Modular tensor categories (MTCs) are finite tensor categories giving interesting SL(2,Z) representations. They can be viewed as generalizations of quadratic forms and their Weil representations. In this talk, I will give a quick introduction to MTCs, and briefly explain how, via the congruence property and Galois symmetry of the associated SL(2,Z) representations, basic algebraic number theory appears in the study of MTCs.

Title: Perfectoid fields and perfectoid spaces

Abstract: In the late 1970s, Fontaine and Wintenberger found that certain interesting fields of characteristic zero and p have the same Galois groups, which eventually led to the theory of perfectoid fields and perfectoid spaces by Scholze. I will explain examples of these mathematical objects and why they are interesting. This is a less technical talk aimed at people in Number Theory and related fields.
