Perfectoid Spaces and their Applications
Date: 17 - 21 February 2014
Location: MSRI
Event type: Conference
Organisers: Sophie Morel (Princeton), Peter Scholze (Bonn), Richard Taylor (Stanford), Jared Weinstein (BU)
Since their introduction just two years ago, perfectoid spaces have played a crucial role in a number of striking advances in arithmetic algebraic geometry: the proof of Deligne’s weight-monodromy conjecture for complete intersections in toric varieties; the development of p-adic Hodge theory for rigid analytic spaces; a p-adic analogue of Riemann’s classification of abelian varieties over the complex numbers; and the construction of Galois representations for torsion classes in the cohomology of many locally symmetric spaces (for instance arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds). We will start the week with an exposition of the foundations of the theory of perfectoid spaces, with the aim of teaching novices to work with them. Then we will discuss their current and potential applications.
