Organizers:
Clemens Fuchs (ETH
Zürich), Jürg Kramer (HU
Berlin), Gisbert Wüstholz (ETH Zürich, Chair)

Scope:
This international
symposium aims at bringing together leading experts
in the field of number theory, algebraic and arithmetic algebraic
geometry. The objective is to
outlay a state-of-the-art picture of this very active branch of
mathematics, and to enhance research collaboration on outstanding
problems. This is the last event of our 6 year
International Research Training Group. Since the first meeting, which
took also place in the Centro Stefano Franscini in 2004, three
outstanding problems in number theory have
been solved: the André-Oort Conjecture, Serre's Modularity
Conjecture and the Conjecture of Sato and Tate.
Program overview:
We shall have thwo talks in the morning and
two talks in
the afternoon. This leaves some time for individual work and contact
which turned out to be very useful and inseminating as we have
experienced. After dinner
there will be time slots for one further talk or for short
individual contributions which
will be organized on a more adhoc basis for reports on upcoming work
marking a break through. We shall also organize a poster session for
the younger participants. The symposium consists of a welcome-lecture
by Y. Tschinkel (NYU) and the following four
workshops:
- The André-Oort
Conjecture: B. Edixhoven (Univ. Leiden), B.
Klingler (Paris
7), G. Wüstholz (ETH
Zürich), A.
Yafaev (UCL)
- Serre's Modularity
Conjecture: C. Khare (UCLA), K. Ribet (Berkeley), J.-P. Wintenberger
(Strasbourg)
- Periods: H. Esnault
(Duisburg-Essen), M. Kontsevich (IHES),
E.
Viehweg (Duisburg-Essen)
- Hyperbolic and
Arithmetic Geometry: V. Blomer (Toronto), J. Jorgenson (CCNY),
J. Kramer (HU Berlin)
For
the detailed program see here. We also
have a flyer (pdf) and a poster (pdf).
Conference
