. It takes place from July 6-11, 2014 at the Böglerhof in Alpbach/Tyrol, Austria.
This summer school will continue a many-year tradition of schools in Alpbach featuring high-profile research results in arithmetic and geometry. The topic builds on p-adic periods from the
ProDoc Workshop 2010. PhD students/postdocs (mainly from Zurich) present the topics, and everyone gains a deep exposure.
Colmez' conjecture relates the Faltings height, measuring the complexity of a CM abelian variety, to L-functions, which are generalizations of the Riemann zeta-function. For a CM elliptic curve (CM, or complex multiplication, refers to extra symmetries), the conjecture reproduces the Chowla-Selberg formula. The goal of the workshop is to understand Colmez' proof, which treats the case of abelian CM fields. More detailes on the program will be published here in due time.
A pre-workshop took place at FIM from April 7-10, 2014. For further details see
