Outline of Scientific Activities
Main Directions of Research
The aim of the thematic program is to assemble leading experts
in the fields of Galois representations, automorphic forms, and
related subjects, with the goals of communicating recent discoveries
to various audiences, including graduate students and beginning
investigators, experts from other fields, and experts in their
own fields; and of promoting further progress in these fields
through fostering interaction and collaboration among experts.
These aims will be achieved through a combination of graduate
courses, short lecture series, research seminars, and workshops.

Christophe Breuil, Université Paris-Sud
Short Lecture Series
A Short Lecture Series will be organized on various topics.
Workshops
March 12-16, 2012
Galois Representations, Shimura
Varieties, and Automorphic Forms; A Workshop for Graduate Students
and Postdoctoral Fellows
Lectures to be held in the morning each day.
Supported by the National Science Foundation
March 19-23, 2012
Workshop on Cohomology of
Shimura varieties: arithmetic aspects and the construction of
Galois representations.
The workshop will have several goals, including: describing the
latest results on the cohomology of Shimura varieties; explaining
the key ideas and techniques which underly these results; analyzing
the applications of these results to the construction of Galois
representations attached to automorphic forms, with the goal of
describing the state of the art in
this problem.
Organizers: Laurent Clozel (Paris 11), Matthew Emerton (U Chicago),
David Geraghty (Princeton and IAS), Sug Woo Shin (MIT).
April 23-27, 2012
Workshop on the p-adic
Langlands program: recent developments and applications
As the study of the p-adic local Langlands correspondence,
and of its global applications, grows in importance this workshop
will be to assemble the experts in the area to report on these
new developments and applications.
Organizers: Christophe Breuil (Paris 11), Toby Gee (Imperial College,
London), Florian Herzig (U Toronto), Jan Nekovar (Paris 6).

Postdoctoral fellowship
applications
We will support a number of Fields postdocs for the duration of
the program, as well as offer support towards a visitors' program,
including visiting Ph.D. students
Program Participants requesting support
or office space
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community.
Visitors who are interested in office space or funding are
requested to apply by filling out the application
form .
Additional support is available to support junior US visitors to
this program.
Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical
sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities.
Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge the
community, and to encourage the participation of women and members
of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.
