Title: A Serre weight conjecture for mod p Hilbert modular forms
Speaker: Prof. Shu Sasaki (Queen Mary University of London)
Time: 16:00-17:00, Dec 17, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: In 1987, J.P. Serre formulated a set of conjectures about weights and levels of odd two-dimensional modular mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of Q. Serre's conjecture itself was proved by Khare and Wintenberger in 2009, but it has also inspired a good deal of new mathematics. One strand of research spurred on by this development is a generalisation of Serre's conjecture over to totally real number fields; and it was in the work of Buzzard, Diamond and Jarvis in 2010 that the very first attempt was made (while focusing exclusively on *regular* weights). In my joint work with Diamond, we improve on the BDJ conjectures and formulate new conjectures about *general* weights of (geometric) mod p Hilbert modular forms. I will explain what our conjectures say and demonstrate some evidence that we are on the right track.
Speaker: Dr. Huan Chen(Huazhong University Of Science And Technology)
Time: 9:00-10:00, Dec 03, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: We study the images of Galois representations associated to Hida families. In 2015, Hida and Jacyln Lang have proved that the image of Ga-lois representation associated to a non-CM family of ordinary classical modular forms contains a congruence subgroup of Iwasawa algebra of weights and also of a nite extension of this algebra, which is called the self-twist ring. Hida and Jacques Tilouine have generalized the results about the existence of nontrivial congruence subgroups contained in the image of the Galois representation to the case of a Hida family of "general" Siegel modular forms of genus 2. Under some technical hypothesis, we have proved the same result for general reductive groups, when the associated Galois representation exists. In this talk, I will explain the results and show the main steps of the proof. This is a joint work with Jacques Tilouine.
Title: Generalized special cycles and theta series
Speaker: Dr. Yousheng Shi (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Time: 9:00-10:00, October 22, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: We study generalized special cycles on Hermitian locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma \backslash D$ associated to the groups $G = U(p, q), \ \mathrm{Sp}(2n, \mathbb R)$ and $\mathrm{O}(2n)$. These cycles are algebraic and covered by symmetric spaces associated to subgroups of $G$ which are of the same type. Using differential forms with values in the Weil representation, we show that Poincare duals of these generalized special cycles can be viewed as Fourier coefficients of a theta series. This gives new cases of theta lifts from the cohomology of Hermitian locally symmetric manifolds associated to $G$ to vector-valued automorphic forms associated to the groups $G' = \mathrm{U}(m, m), \ \mathrm{O}(m, m)$ or $\mathrm{Sp}(m, m)$ which are members of a dual pair with $G$ in the sense of Howe. This partially generalizes the work of Kudla and Millson on the special cycles on Hermitian locally symmetric spaces associated to the unitary groups.
Title: On the locally analytic vectors of the completed cohomology of modular curves
Speaker: Lue Pan (University of Chicago)
Time: 9:30-11:45, September 10, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: We study locally analytic vectors of the completed cohomology of modular curves and determine eigenvectors of a rational Borel subalgebra of gl_2(Q_p). As applications, we are able to prove a classicality result for overconvergent eigenform of weight one and give a new proof of Fontaine-Mazur conjecture in the irregular case under some mild hypothesis. One technical tool is relative Sen theory which allows us to relate infinitesimal group action with Hodge(-Tate) structure.
Title: Connectedness of Kisin varieties associated to absolutely irreducible Galois representations
Speaker: Prof. Miaofen Chen (East China Normal University)
Time: 16:00-17:00, August 27, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: Let K be a p-adic field. Let \rho be a n-dimensional continuous absolutely irreducible mod p representation of the absolute Galois group of K. The Kisin variety is a projective scheme which parametrizes the finite flat group schemes over the ring of integers of K with generic fiber \rho satisfying some determinant condition. The connected components of the Kisin variety is in bijection with the connected components of the generic fiber of the flat deformation ring of \rho with given Hodge-Tate weights. Kisin conjectured that the Kisin variety is connected in this case. We show that Kisin's conjecture holds if K is totally ramfied with n=3 or the determinant condition is of a very particular form. We also give counterexamples to show Kisin's conjecture does not hold in general. This is a joint work with Sian Nie.
Title: Beilinson-Bloch conjecture and arithmetic inner product formula
Speaker: Prof. Yifeng Liu (Yale)
Time: 16:00-17:00, July 23, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: In this talk, we study the Chow group of the motive associated to a tempered global L-packet \pi of unitary groups of even rank with respect to a CM extension, whose global root number is -1. We show that, under some restrictions on the ramification
of \pi, if the central derivative L'(1/2,\pi) is nonvanishing, then the \pi-nearly isotypic localization of the Chow group of a certain unitary Shimura variety over its reflex field does not vanish. This proves part of the Beilinson--Bloch conjecture for Chow
groups and L-functions. Moreover, assuming the modularity of Kudla's generating functions of special cycles, we explicitly construct elements in a certain \pi-nearly isotypic subspace of the Chow group by arithmetic theta lifting, and compute their heights
in terms of the central derivative L'(1/2,\pi) and local doubling zeta integrals. This is a joint work with Chao Li.
Title: Bound on the number of rational points on curves
Speaker: Prof. Ziyang Gao (CNRS)
Time: 16:00-17:00, July 9, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: Mazur conjectured, after Faltings's proof of the Mordell conjecture, that the number of rational points on a curve depends only on the genus, the degree of the number field and the Mordell-Weil rank. This conjecture was established in a few cases. In this talk I will explain how to prove this conjecture and some of its generalization. I will focus on how functional transcendence and unlikely intersections on mixed Shimura varieties are applied. This is joint work with Vesselin Dimitrov and Philipp Habegger.
Title: Towards three problems of Katz on Kloosterman sums
Speaker: Prof. Ping Xi (Xi'an Jiaotong University )
Time: 16:00-17:00, June 24, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: Motivated by deep observations on elliptic curves, Nicholas Katz proposed three problems on sign changes, equidistributions and modular structures of Kloosterman sums in 1980. In this talk, we will discuss some recent progresses towards these three problems made by analytic number theory combining certain tools from $\ell$-adic cohomology.
Speaker: Prof. Wei Zhang (MIT)
Time: 9:30-11:00, June 11, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: This will be an introductory talk to special algebraic cycles on Shimura varieties and their relation to L-functions. No prior knowledge Shimura varieties will be assumed.
Title: The arithmetic fundamental lemma for p-adic fields
Speaker: Prof. Wei Zhang (MIT)
Time: 9:00-10:30, June 4, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: The arithmetic fundamental lemma (AFL) is a conjectural identity relating the arithmetic intersection numbers on a Rapoport-Zink space for unitary groups to the first derivative of relative orbital integral on the general linear groups over a p-adic field F. The AFL was proved in the case F=Q_p about one year ago. In this talk I will report a work in progress joint with A. Mihatsch to prove the AFL for a general p-adic field.
Title: On certain special values of $L$-functions associated to elliptic curves and real quadratic fields
Speaker: Prof. Chung Pang Mok (Soochow University)
Time: 16:30-17:30, September 24, 2020 (Beijing Time)
Abstract: We study a class of normalized special values of $L$-functions associated to elliptic curves (defined over $\mathbf{Q}$) and real quadratic fields. Under certain hypotheses, we are able to show that these are squares of rational numbers. This result is used to improve upon a theorem of Bertolini-Darmon about a $p$-adic Gross-Zagier type formula.
