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 ...
AbstractThe goal of this minicourse is to introduce the recent advances in Hodge theory via o-minimal techniques. We will start by revisiting the basics on o-minimal geometry with a view towards algebraization theorems (Pila-Wilkie counting theorem; o-minimal Chow and GAGA theorems in definable complex analytic geometry). In the realm of Hodge theory, we will explore several applications: (i) t...
