Integration on p-adic curves - Eric Katz

Abstract: The p-adic numbers are a particular completion of the rational numbers that has applications to number theory. Unlike the reals, they do not have a nice topology, but one can still do geometry over them. In this talk, we will discuss a notion of line integrals, due to Coleman, on algebraic curves over the p-adic numbers and some of its number-theoretic consequences

 

Faculty Circus

Explore the variety of academic research in the Department of Mathematics at Pitt by getting a glimpse into some faculty members' research. 10 faculty members, working in different areas of mathematics, will give insights into their research projects in concise 5-7 minute talks. Our speakers for this event are:

Carl Wang-Erickson

Polynomials are to Taylor series as numbers are to p-adic numbers
