Reflections on the Hodge Conjecture from an Arithmetic Geometer

Time：Fri., 4:00-5:00 pm Mar.31, 2023

Venue：Zoom Meeting ID: 271 534 5558 Passcode: YMSC

Speaker：James D. Lewis University of Alberta

Speaker

James D. Lewis is Professor at University of Alberta. His current research interests are in regulators of (higher) algebraic cycles into Hodge cohomology theories (such as Beilinson's absolute Hodge cohomology). With his colleague Matt Kerr, together initially with Stefan Mueller-Stach, they provided over the course of 10 years an explicit description of the Beilinson-Bloch regulators in terms of polylogarithmic currents. His earlier work led to a survey book on the Hodge conjecture, which was well received by the algebraic geometry community.

Abstract

This talk is based on recent developments from Claire Voisin (acting on the advice of Vincent Maillot and Christophe Soule), as well directions in higher K-theory, due to myself and Rob de Jeu. When it comes to the Hodge conjecture in higher K-theory, we explore the connections between the expected injectivity of the Abel-Jacobi map for varieties defined over number fields (Bloch/Beilinson), and the Hodge conjecture for the same varieties.

Geometry of the P=W conjecture and beyond
AbstractGiven a compact Riemann surface C, nonabelian Hodge theory relates topological and algebro-geometric objects associated to C. Specifically, complex representations of the fundamental group are in correspondence with algebraic vector bundles on C, equipped with an extra structure called a Higgs field.This gives a transcendental matching between two very different moduli spaces for C: the...

Restrictions of eigenfunctions on arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Let X be a compact arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold. Let f be a Hecke-Maass form on X, which is a joint eigenfunction of the Laplacian and Hecke operators. In this talk, I will talk about the L^2 restriction norm problems of f with high frequency. I will present a power-saving bound over the local bound by Burq, Gérard, and Tzvetkov for the L^2 norm of f restricted to a totally geodesic surface...
