Lectures in Modern Mathematics




June 21-24 2016, School of Mathematical Sciences University of Nottingham



Speakers: Laurent Lafforgue (IHES) and Olivia Caramello (Paris 7)













 


Laurent Lafforgue 

Langlands' functoriality principle as a non-additive Poisson formula problem




 
Abstract. The lectures will be concerned with the automorphic transfer from a reductive group G over a global field F to GL(d) which Langlands has conjectured to be induced by any d-dimensional representation r of the dual group of G. The first part of the lectures will explain why this automorphic transfer is equivalent to the existence of some adelic Fourier transform on G, defined locally by r, which verifies some global non-additive Poisson formula. Then we will try to propose a direct non conjectural definition of the Fourier transform at each place and to study its properties.



Olivia Caramello 

Motivic toposes






Abstract.  We will present a number of notions and results already obtained in the direction of constructing classifying toposes of Weil-type cohomology theories and associated categories of motives. In particular, we will show that a Q-linear category of mixed motives can be naturally constructed as a suitable subcategory of a topos classifying a regular theory attached to any homology functor with coefficients of characteristic 0; this generalizes Nori’s construction.  We will also propose a framework based on atomic two-valued toposes and homogeneous models for analysing the properties of Weil-type cohomology theories and their relations. The first part of the course will be devoted to recalling the necessary topos-theoretic preliminaries of both logical and geometric nature. Papers: Motivic toposes, arxiv:math.AG/1507.06271;
