Thematic Program on Galois Representation

March 12-16, 2012
Galois Representations, Shimura Varieties, and Automorphic Forms;
A Workshop for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows


Supported by the National Science Foundation
Award #1101503

Lectures to be held in the morning each day.

Recent developments in the Langlands programme have relied on an impressive amount of machinery -- the Kisin-Taylor-Wiles method, cyclic base change, the Fundamental Lemma, the geometry of unitary Shimura varieties, and the labyrinthian theory of automorphic forms. One consequence is that non-experts can become needlessly lost in the early stages of a paper (or during the first five minutes of a talk) by technical details, even when the key ideas are actually quite intuitive. The goal of this workshop is to demystify much of the technical jargon in the subject with an emphasis on examples, with a special emphasis on comparing the similarities and differences of the general theory with the special case of modular forms and modular curves.

Lecturers include Frank Calegari, Ana Caraiani, Florian Herzig, Keerthi Madapusi Pera, Yiannis Sakellaridis and Chung Pang Mok.
