p-adic L-functions day in Cambridge

Mini-conference at Cambridge University

June 1st 2016

Organizers: G. Rosso, J. Thorne

This one day conference will focus on p-adic L-functions. We hope that this event will be an opportunity for people in Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry to approach a new fascinating topic and for people with a good background to learn the state of art in the subject. There will be both introductory and research focused talks.

Speakers

Yukako Kezuka, Cambridge

David Loeffler, Warwick

Guhan Venkat, University College London and Warwick

Christopher Williams, Warwick

Sarah Zerbes, University College London
