Iwasawa theory of totally real fields for certain non-commutative $p$-extensions
[ Abstract ]
Recently, Kazuya Kato has proven the non-commutative Iwasawa main
conjecture (in the sense of Coates, Fukaya, Kato, Sujatha and Venjakob) for
non-commutative Galois extensions of "Heisenberg type" of totally real fields,
using integral logarithmic homomorphisms. In this talk, we apply Kato's method
to certain non-commutative $p$-extensions which are more complicated than those
of Heisenberg type, and prove the main conjecture for them.

Odds and ends on finite group actions and traces
[ Abstract ]
Suppose a finite group G acts on a scheme X separated and of finite type over a field k. This raises several questions about the traces of elements s of G (or more generally products sg, for g in the Galois group of k) on cohomology groups of various types associated with X/k (with compact support or no support, Betti if k = C, l-adic, rigid). Some were considered and solved long ago, others only recently. I will in particular discuss an equivariant generalization of a theorem of Laumon on Euler-Poincar¥'e characteristics.

Integrality, Rationality, and Independence of l in l-adic Cohomology over Local Fields
[ Abstract ]
I will discuss two problems on traces in l-adic cohomology over local fields with finite residue field. In the first part, I will describe the behavior of integral complexes of l-adic sheaves under Grothendieck's six operations and the nearby cycle functor. In the second part, I will talk about rationality and independence of l. More precisely, I will introduce a notion of compatibility for systems of l-adic complexes and explain the proof of its stability by the above operations, in a slightly more general context (equivariant under finite groups). The main tool in this talk is a theorem of de Jong on
alterations.

Equidistribution theorems in Arakelov geometry
[ Abstract ]
The proof of Bogomolov's conjecture by Zhang made a crucial use
of an equidistribution property for the Galois orbits of points of small
heights in Abelian varieties defined over number fields.
Such an equidistribution property is proved using a method invented
by Szpiro, Ullmo and Zhang, and makes use of Arakelov theory.
This equidistribution theorem takes place in the complex torus
associated to the Abelian variety. I will show how a similar
equidistribution theorem can be proven for the p-adic topology ;
we have to use Berkovich space. Thanks to recent results of Yuan
about `big line bundles' in Arakelov geometry, the situation
is now very well understood.

Classification of two dimensional trianguline representations of p-adic fields
[ Abstract ]
Trianguline representation is a class of p-adic Galois representations of p-adic fields. This was defined by P.Colmez by using ($\\varphi, \\Gamma$)-modules over Robba ring. In his study of p-adic local Langlands correspondence of GL_2(Q_p), he completely classified two dimensional trianguline representations of Q_p. On the other hand, L.Berger recently defined the category of B-pairs and established the equivalence between the category of B-pairs and the category of ($\\varphi,\\Gamma$)-modules over Robba ring. In this talk, we extend the Colmez's result by using B-pairs. We completely classify two dimensional trianguline representations of K for any finite extension of Q_p. We also talk about a relation between two dimensional trianguline representations and principal series or special series of GL_2(K).

Abelian varieties with constrained torsion
[ Abstract ]
The pro-$l$ Galois representation attached to the arithmetic fundamental group of a curve $X$ is heavily influenced by the arithmetic of certain classes of its branched covers. It is natural, therefore, to search for and classify these special covers in a meaningful way. When $X$ is the projective line minus three points, one finds that such covers are very scarce. In joint work with Akio Tamagawa, we formulate a conjecture to quanitify this scarcity, and present a proof for the conjecture in the case of genus one curves defined over $\\Q$.

Abel-Jacobi Maps Associated to Algebraic Cycles I

This talk concerns the Bloch cycle class map from the higher Chow groups to Deligne cohomology of a projective algebraic manifold. We provide an explicit formula for this map in terms of polylogarithmic type currents.

Etale cobordism
[ Abstract ]
We define and study a new candidate of etale topological cohomology theories for schemes over a field of abritrary characteristic: etale cobordism. As etale K-theory is related to algebraic K-theory, etale cobordism is related to algebraic cobordism of Voevodsky and Levine/Morel. It shares some nice properties of topological theories, e.g. it is equipped with an Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence from etale cohomology. We discuss in particular a comparison theorem between etale and algebraic cobordism after inverting a Bott element and, finally, we give an outlook to further possible applications of this theory.

Presentation of mapping class groups from algebraic geometry
[ Abstract ]
A presentation of the mapping class group of a genus g surface with one hole is due to Wajnryb with later improvements due to M. Matsumoto. The generators are Dehn twists defined by 2g+1 closed curves on the surface. The relations involving only two Dehn twists are the familiar Artin relations, we show that those involving more than two can be derived from algebro-geometry considerations.

The conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer is misleading
[ Abstract ]
All values of zeta and L-functions at integral points should be given in terms of products and quotients of Euler characteristics, and the order of the zeroes and poles at these
points should be given by the sum and difference of the ranks of
corresponding finitely generated abelian groups.

On the profinite regular inverse Galois problem
[ Abstract ]
Given a field $k$ and a (pro)finite group $G$, consider the
following weak version of the regular inverse Galois problem:
(WRIGP/$G$/$k$) \\textit{there exists a smooth geometrically
irreducible curve $X_{G}/k$ and a Galois extension $E/k(X_{G})$
regular over $k$ with group $G$.} (the regular inverse Galois
problem (RIGP/$G$/$k$) corresponding to the case
$X_{G}=\\mathbb{P}^{1}_{k}$). A standard descent argument shows that
for a finite group $G$ the (WRIGP/$G$/$k$) can be deduced from the
(RIGP/$G$/$k((T))$). For
profinite groups $G$, the (WRIGP/$G$/$k((T))$) has been proved for
lots of fields (including the cyclotomic closure of characteristic $0$
fields) but the descent argument no longer works.\\\\
\\indent Let $p\\geq 2$ be a prime, then a profinite group
$G$ is said to be \\textit{$p$-obstructed} if it fits in a profinite group extension
$$1\\rightarrow K\\rightarrow G\\rightarrow G_{0}\\rightarrow 1$$
with $G_{0}$ a finite group and $K\\twoheadrightarrow \\mathbb{Z}_{p}$. Typical examples of such profinite groups $G$ are
universal $p$-Frattini covers of finite $p$-perfect groups or
pronilpotent projective groups.\\\\
\\indent I will show that the (WRIGP/$G$/$k$) - even under
its weaker formulation: (WWRIGP/$G$/$k$) \\textit{there exists a
smooth geometrically irreducible curve $X_{G}/k$ and a Galois
extension $E/k(X_{G}).\\overline{k}$ with group $G$ and field of
moduli $k$.} - fails for the whole class of $p$-obstructed profinite
groups $G$ and any field $k$ which is either a finitely generated
field of characteristic $0$ or a finite field of characteristic
$\\not= p$.\\\\
\\indent The proof uses a profinite generalization of the cohomological obstruction
for a G-cover to be defined over its field of moduli and an analysis of the constrainsts
imposed on a smooth geometrically irreducible curve $X$ by a degree $p^{n}$
cyclic G-cover $X_{n}\\rightarrow X$, constrainsts which are too rigid to allow the
existence of projective systems $(X_{n}\\rightarrow X_{G})_{n\\geq 0}$ of degree $p^{n}$ cyclic G-covers
defined over $k$. I will also discuss other implicsations of these constrainsts
for the (RIGP).

Overconvergent Siegel modular forms
[ Abstract ]
We recall what is known and what is conjectured on p-adic families of overconvergent Siegel modular forms. We show how this relates to a Fontaine-Mazur type conjecture on the classicality of certain overconvergent Siegel forms of genus 2. We explain few results known in this direction.
