AIM Workshop — Degree d points on algebraic surfaces
18 Mar 2024 - 22 Mar 2024 • Pasadena, California, United States
Organizer:
American Institute of Mathematics (AIM)
Abstract:
The study of degree d points on algebraic curves over ℚ is a rich and mature area of research, with the Abel-Jacobi map and the Mordell-Lang conjecture providing powerful tools for exploration. However, for higher dimensional varieties there is no such approach that works in general. Because of this, we lack even a conjectural framework for understanding which higher dimensional varieties over ℚ should have "many" degree d points. The workshop will focus on questions aimed at addressing this dearth, concentrating on the case of algebraic surfaces. For instance, what does it mean for a surface over ℚ to have "many" degree d points? What are some geometric constructions that give rise to abundant degree d points? Are these related to geometric measures of irrationality? If HilbdX has a Zariski dense set of ℚ-points for some small d, does that yield any arithmetic or geometric consequences for X? If X embeds into its Albanese, can we obtain results analogous to that of curves?

The Ceresa Cycle in Arithmetic and Geometry
13 May 2024 - 17 May 2024 • Providence, RI, United States
Organizer:
ICERM
Abstract:
In the 1980s, Ceresa exhibited one of the first naturally occurring examples of an algebraic cycle, the Ceresa cycle, which is in general homologically trivial but algebraically nontrivial. In the last few years, there has been a renewed interest in the Ceresa cycle, and other cycle classes associated to curves over arithmetically interesting fields, and their interactions with analytic, combinatorial, and arithmetic properties of those curves. We hope to capitalize on this momentum to bring together different communities of arithmetic geometers to fully explore explicit computations around the arithmetic and geometry of cycles when these various approaches are systematically combined.

AIM Workshop: Symmetry-breaking of optimal shapes
17 Jun 2024 - 21 Jun 2024 • American Institute of Mathematics, Pasadena, California, United States
Organizer:
American Institute of Mathematics (AIM)
Abstract:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, investigates Shape Optimization problems for which symmetry-breaking is believed to occur: the energy functional is radially symmetric and yet its minimizer fails to enjoy full symmetry. Unlike in many other problems, the optimal shape is not the ball. The ball does solve many natural shape optimization problems for geometric and physical models, including the classical isoperimetric inequality and inequalities for capacity and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian under Dirichlet, Robin or Neumann boundary conditions. Thus it becomes particularly fascinating to investigate problems where the ball is NOT the best, and to determine the optimal shape in those situations.
Topics:
The main topics for the workshop are: Topic 1: Examples where the ball is non-optimal. Topic 2: Techniques for identifying optimal shapes: shaking, tensorization, geometric flows, first or second order arguments to prove the optimal shape must be a polygon or polytope, free boundaries analysis. Topic 3: Notable conjectures including Polya's capacity problem, Neumann spectral problems, problems from convex geometry, isodiametric capacity maximizers, Alexandrov's conjecture for intrinsic diameter.

AIM Workshop: Scissors congruences, algebraic K-theory and Steinberg modules
08 Jul 2024 - 12 Jul 2024 • American Institute of Mathematics, Pasadena, California, United States
Organizer:
American Institute of Mathematics (AIM)
Abstract:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to connections between scissors congruence K-theory and Steinberg modules. Scissors congruence is the study of when objects such as polyhedra, manifolds, varieties, etc. are equivalent under decomposition into pieces. In the last decade, the introduction of K-theoretic constructions in the study of scissors congruence problems by Campbell and Zakharevich has seen exciting applications and opened new avenues of attack on this problem. Generalizing results for classical scissors congruence groups, Malkiewich showed that scissors congruence groups can be described as group homology with coefficients in Steinberg modules. Steinberg modules are certain representations that are relevant to the study of representations of linear groups, algebraic K-theory, and the cohomology of arithmetic groups. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers studying scissors congruence K-theory and as well as Steinberg modules, in order to explore interactions between the two fields.
Topics:
The main topics for the workshop are: Scissors congruence K-theory Resolutions of Steinberg modules (Co)algebraic structures of Steinberg modules and scissors congruence spectra Connections with more classical forms of K-theory
