dular forms on Hilbert modular varieties\nby Si Ying Lee (Harvard Univ
ersity) as part of STAGE\n\n\nAbstract\nWe will give an overview of Katz's
paper on the construction of $p$-adic L-functions for CM fields. A key in
put in this paper is the consideration of modular forms on Hilbert modular
varieties. We will discuss some key properties of Hilbert-Blumenthal abel
ian varieties\, and the associated moduli spaces. We will also define modu
lar forms on Hilbert modular varieties\, and prove a $q$-expansion princip

DESCRIPTION:Title: I
ntroduction to prismatic cohomology\nby James Myer (The CUNY Graduate
Center) as part of STAGE\n\n\nAbstract\nThe study of the cohomology of alg
ebraic varieties is depicted by Peter Scholze as a “plane worth” of pa
irs of primes $(p\,\\ell)$\, each indexing a cohomology theory for varieti
es over $\\mathbb{F}_p$ with coefficients in $\\mathbb{F}_{\\ell}$. The si
ngular cohomology occupies a vertical line over $\\infty$\; the étale coh
omology dances around\, avoiding the pairs $(p\,p)$\; the analytic de Rham
cohomology occupies the top right corner\, intersecting the singular coho
mology @ $(\\infty\,\\infty)$\, symbolizing the classical de Rham comparis
on theorem\, while the diagonal is picked off by the algebraic de Rham coh
omology. Zooming in on a point on the diagonal\, we begin to wonder whethe
r there is a cohomology theory interpolating between the étale to the cry
stalline (and de Rham). In fact\, the depiction of the plane of pairs of p
rimes is striated by lines from each of the various cohomology theories\,
but no cohomology theory seems to “wash over” any 2-dimensional part o
f the picture and “phase in and out” between any one or the other. The
prismatic cohomology theory is this “2-dimensional” theory interpolat
ing between the étale and crystalline (and de Rham) theories.\n\nThe clas
sical de Rham comparison theorem between the (dual of the) analytic de Rha
m cohomology and the singular homology offers a geometric interpretation o
f a (co)homology class as an obstruction to (globally) integrating a diffe
rential form. This geometric interpretation loses steam when faced with to
rsion classes because the integral over a torsion class is always zero. It
is also worthwhile to note the relative ease with which we may calculate
the de Rham cohomology of a variety (this can be done by machine\, e.g. Ma
caulay2) as opposed to the singular cohomology of a variety. So\, how do w
e detect these torsion cycles algebraically? We will see via a calculation
applying the universal coefficients theorem that the hypothesis of equali
ty of dimensions of the analytic and algebraic de Rham cohomology groups o
f a variety implies lack of torsion in singular cohomology. Somewhat conve
rsely\, we’ll see that the presence of torsion in the singular cohomolog
y of the analytic space associated to a variety forces the algebraic de Rh
am cohomology group to be larger than expected. This interplay between the
various cohomology theories for varieties\, e.g. singular\, étale\, anal
ytic de Rham\, algebraic de Rham\, crystalline\, is facilitated by a (spec
ialization of a sequence of) remarkable theorem(s) whose proof depends on
the existence of\, and motivates the construction of\, the prismatic cohom
ology theory. \n\nFollowing this introduction\, we will venture into some
detail\, set up some notation for the next speaker\, and elaborate a bit m
ore on the story to come.\n

e'll apply this result\, together with last week's Proposition 4.1 of [DGH

-Tate height of $P$ in a nondegenerate subvariety $X$ of $\\mathcal{A}\\to
S$ in terms of the height of $\\pi(P)$. For this application\, we follow
Section 5 of [DGH].\n

niformity for rational points\nby Fei Hu (Harvard) as part of STAGE\n\
nLecture held in Room 2-449 in the MIT Simons Building.\n\nAbstract\nWe di
scuss the proof of Proposition 8.1 in [DGH]\, which gives a uniform bound
for the intersection of rational points $C(\\overline\\mathbb{Q})$ of a cu
rve $C$ of large modular height in an abelian variety $A$ and a finite ran
k subgroup $\\Gamma\\subseteq A(\\overline\\mathbb{Q})$.\nThe number of la
rge points can be handled by a standard application of the Vojta and\nMumf
ord inequalities.\nThe key of [DGH] is to bound the number of those small
points using the so-called New Gap Principle.\n\nWe then deduce the unifor
m boundedness of rational/torsion points of curves in [DGH]\, i.e.\, their
Theorems 1.1\, 1.2\, and 1.4\, from the above Proposition 8.1 (for curves
of large modular height) and some other classical results (taking care of
curves of small modular height).\n

nlikely intersection theory and the Ax-Schanuel theorem\nby Anlong Chu
a as part of STAGE\n\nLecture held in Room 2-449 in the MIT Simons Buildin
g.\n\nAbstract\nCounting dimensions heuristically tells us whether geometr
ic objects are "likely" or "unlikely" to intersect. For instance\, Bezout'
s theorem tells us that two curves in $\\mathbb{P}^2$ always intersect. On
the other hand\, two curves in $\\mathbb{P}^3$ are unlikely to intersect.
In number theory\, one is often concerned with unlikely intersection prob
lems — for example\, when does a subvariety of an abelian variety contai
n many torsion points?\n\nIn this talk\, I will try to explain the connect
ions between functional transcendence\, unlikely intersections\, and numbe
r theory. Time permitting\, I will discuss the answer to the question pose
d above and more. On our journey\, we will pass through the fascinating wo
rld of o-minimality\, which I hope to describe in broad strokes.\n

proofs will be given due to time constraints. We will mostly follow parts
of Milne's book on Algebraic Groups (available at https://math.ucr.edu/ho

eight functions\nby Raymond van Bommel (Massachusetts Institute of Tec

Building.\n\nAbstract\nThis talk will be a survey of the theory of heights
. We will consider heights for projective varieties over number fields and
function fields. We will not only consider finiteness of points of bounde
d degree and height\, but also the number of such points. If time allows\,
we will consider how the heights associated to different line bundles on
a projective variety are related.\n\nThe contents of this talk are based o
n
Chapter 2 of the book. Another good source is Lang's book.\n

The Mordell-Weil theorem and Chabauty's theorem\nby Niven T. Achenjang
(MIT) as part of STAGE\n\nLecture held in Room 2-131 in the MIT Simons Bu
ilding.\n\nAbstract\nChapter 4 and Section 5.1 of Serre\, Lectures on the
Mordell-Weil theorem.\n\nThis talk will be split into two parts. In the fi
rst part\, we will discuss the Mordell-Weil Theorem\, which states that th
e abelian group of rational points on an abelian variety $A$ defined over
a global field $K$ is finitely generated. We will show that this theorem f
ollows from some classical finiteness results in algebraic number theory a
long with the theory of heights built up in previous talks. Time permittin
g\, we will conclude the first part by proving a theorem of Neron which gi
ves an asymptotic count for the number of points of bounded height on an a
belian variety of rank $\\rho$. In the second part\, we will turn our atte
ntion towards curves of genus $g\\ge2$. For such curves $C/K$\, we will pr
ove Chabauty's Theorem that $C(K)$ is finite if $\\operatorname{rank}\\ope
ratorname{Jac}(C)(K) < g$ (finiteness of $C(K)$ is now known even when $C$
's Jacobian has large rank).\n

The Demyanenko-Manin method and Mumford's inequality\nby Frank Lu (Har

lding.\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, we will discuss two theorems regarding
the number of rational points on curves of genus $g \\geq 2:$ the Demyanen
ko-Manin theorem and Mumford's inequality. We will begin with the Demyanen
ko-Manin theorem\, which tells us how the existence of enough functions $f
_i: C \\rightarrow A\,$ for some abelian variety $A\,$ allows us to show t
he number of rational points on $C$ is finite. After outlining the proof o
f this theorem and discussing an application to modular curves\, we will t
hen sketch a proof of Mumford's inequality\, which gives an asymptotic bou
nd on the number of points of bounded height without knowing Falting's the
orem.\n

Siegel's method\nby Bjorn Poonen (MIT) as part of STAGE\n\nLecture hel

theorems about diophantine approximation (e.g.\, Roth's theorem that irrat
ional algebraic numbers cannot be approximated too well by rational number
s) can be used to prove one of the most famous theorems of 20th century ar
ithmetic geometry\, Siegel's theorem that a hyperbolic affine curve can ha
ve only finitely many integral points. The proof is ineffective\, however
: 95 years later it is still not known if there is an algorithm that takes
as input the equation of a curve and returns the list of its integral poi
nts.\n\nReference: Chapter 7 of Serre\, Lectures on the Mordell-Weil theor
