AbstractBeilinson--Bloch--Kato conjecture and Iwasawa main conjecture can be viewed as generalizations and p-adic analogues of the celebrated BSD conjecture for elliptic curves. These conjectures predict deep relations between the L-function (or its p-adic analogue) of a motive with some arithmetic invariants. In this talk, I will first start with some review on more classical results and basic...
Prof. Bjorn PoonenMIThttps://math.mit.edu/~poonen/AbstractElliptic curves are simplest varieties whose rational points are not fully understood, and they are the simplest projective varieties with a nontrivial group structure. In 1922 Mordell proved that the group of rational points on an elliptic curve is finitely generated. We will survey what is known and what is believed about this group.Sp...
