Automorphic Forms, Shimura Varieties, Galois Representations and L-functions

Date: 1 - 5 December 2014

Location: MSRI

L-functions attached to Galois representations coming from algebraic   geometry contain subtle arithmetic information (conjectures of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, Deligne, Beilinson, Bloch and Kato, Fontaine and Perrin-Riou). Langlands has predicted the existence of a correspondence relating these L-functions to L-functions of automorphic forms which are much better understood. The workshop will focus on recent developments related to Langlands correspondence (construction of Galois representations attached to automorphic forms via the cohomology of Shimura varieties, modularity of Galois representations…) and arithmetic of special values of L-functions.

It will be dedicated to Michael Harris as a tribute to his enormous influence on the themes of the workshop.
