Analogies between number field and function field: algebraic and analytic approaches
27 June - 1 July, 2016, Lyon, France

Institut Camille Jordan

Aim and scope

In the arithmetic study of global fields in non-zero characteristic, several advances have been made by understanding analogies between number fields and function fields. With this conference, we would like to see the two worlds (that of the arithmetic over the rational integers and that of the arithmetic of the polynomial rings in one indeterminate over a finite field) interact along specific topics such as difference Galois theory, multi-zeta values and L-functions. The conference will includes five series of lectures given by specialists in these domains, and several talks.

We would like to point out that the following conference will held in Lyon one week before and may interest some of particpants of this conference.

Organizers: Thomas Dreyfus, Federico Pellarin,Ambrus Pál, Rudy Perkins.
Scientific committee: Bruno Anglès, David Goss, Ambrus Pál,Federico Pellarin.

Practical informations

The conference will held on the Institut Camille Jordan. All the lectures/talks will be given in the amphi Gouy, Lippmann building. The link connects you to a map of Lyon with several points of interest marked. In particular, the location of
the conference amphitheater Gouy in the Building Gabriel Lippmann is indicated, as well as several places where to eat lunch in the Campus, withdraw cash, etc. If you decide to book by yourself an hotel, we recomand

hôtel Azur, Villemanzy, Odalys Confluence, and Les Estudines Saxe-Gambetta. Please, keep in mind that the european cup of soccer will held in Lyon in the same time than the conference. Therefore, the room hotel should be booked as soon as possible.
