Workshop on Recent Developments in Hodge Theory and O-minimality

The Dynamical Schinzel-Zassenhaus Conjecture and the Transfinite Diameter of Trees
Philipp Habegger
10:45am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: In 2019, Dimitrov proved the Schinzel-Zassenhaus Conjecture. Harry Schmidt and I extended his general strategy to cover some dynamical variants of this conjecture. One common tool in both results is Dubinin's Theorem on the transfinite...

Some Effective Special Point Results
Gareth Jones
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: 
I'll start by discussing some work with Binyamini, Schmidt, and Thomas in which we prove a uniform Manin-Mumford result for products of CM elliptic curves. I'll show how we apply this to obtain an effective Andre-Oort result for fibre...

Hodge-Theoretic Anabelian Geometry
Qixiang Wang
10:45am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: The anabelian phenomenon may be viewed as an arithmetic analogue of Mostow rigidity: it predicts that certain varieties can be reconstructed from their arithmetic fundamental groups. A celebrated result of S. Mochizuki shows that...

On the Completions of General Period Mappings
Haohua Deng
12:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: Constructing completions of period mappings with significant geometric and Hodge-theoretical meaning is an important topic in Hodge theory and its applications. There are rich theories for the classical case in which the period domain is...
