p-adic integration study group

Spring 2017

The p-adic integration study group takes place on Wednesdays from 1:00 pm to 2:15 pm at University College London in Malet Place Engineering, Room 1.02 (except on February 15 and 22, when they will be in Archaeology, Room G6). The organizers are Joe Kramer-Miller and Jack Lamplugh. We will study Coleman's theory of p-adic integration, applications to counting rational points on curves, and the work of Darmon/Rotger on diagonal cycles.
