Title:

Counting l-adic local systems over a curve

Abstract:

Given a punctured curve over a finite field, Deligne proposed counting irreducible geometric l-adic local systems with prescribed local ramification near each puncture, fixed by Frobenius pullback. This problem is closely related to determining a dimension formula for certain cuspidal automorphic forms over a function field. In this talk, I will present results in these directions and discuss some related questions arising in nearby areas.

      YMSC seminar on complex algebraic geometry | Counting l-adic local systems on a curve over a finite field

      Abstract:In 1981, Drinfeld enumerated the number of irreducible l-adic local systems of rank two on a projective smooth curve fixed by the Frobenius endomorphism. Interestingly, this number looks like the number of points on a variety over a finite field. Deligne proposed conjectures to extend and comprehend Drinfeld's result. By the Langlands correspondence, it is equivalent to count certain ...

      The plectic conjecture over local fields

      Abstract:The étale cohomology of varieties over Q enjoys a Galois action. For Hilbert modular varieties, Nekovář-Scholl observed that this Galois action on the level of cohomology extends to a much larger profinite group: the plectic group. Motivated by applications to higher-rank Euler systems, they conjectured that this extension holds even on the level of complexes, as well as for more gene...
