Shimura Varieties and Trace Formula Seminar

On the Cohomology of Non-Compact Unitary Shimura Varieties
S. Morel
2:00pm|West Bldg. Lecture Hall

In this talk, I will explain how the method originally developed by Ihara, Langlands and Kottwitz to compute the cohomology of a Shimura variety (use the Grothendieck-Lefschetz fixed point formula in positive characteristic to calculate the trace on...

On the Truncated Hitchin Fibration and the Weighted Fundamental Lemma (joint work with G\'erard Laumon)
P.-H. Chaudouard
10:30am|West Bldg. Lecture Hall

The fundamental lemma of Langlands and Shelstad is a family of combinatorial identities between local orbital integrals. It is necessary to the stabilization of the elliptic part of the Arthur-Selberg trace formula. In order to stabilize the whole...

Shimura Varieties and Trace Formula Seminar

Construction of Galois Representations
2:00pm|S-101

We report a recent result, due to Clozel-Harris-Labesse, Morel and the speaker, on the previous work of Clozel, Kottwitz, Harris-Taylor and Taylor-Yoshida. There are two main features in our work. One feature, which is also crucial in the other...

Arithmetic Compactifications of PEL-Type Shimura Varieties
2:00pm|S-101

In this lecture, we will try to explain the essential ingredients in the construction of toroidal and minimal compactifications of smooth integral models of (general) PEL-type Shimura varieties, following the approaches of Faltings and Chai. Since...

In this lecture, we will try to explain the essential ingredients in the construction of toroidal and minimal compactifications of smooth integral models of (general) PEL-type Shimura varieties, following the approaches of Faltings and Chai. Since...

Shimura Varieties and Trace Formula Seminar

A Global Analogue of Springer Representations
Z.-W. Yun
10:30am|S-101

I propose an analogue of Springer representations when the finite field in the classical version is replaced by a global function field. The Grothendieck-Springer alternation will be replaced by the so-called parabolic Hitchin fibration. I will...

Shimura Varieties and Trace Formula Seminar

Twisted Relative Trace Formulae with a View Towards Unitary Groups I and II
2:00pm|S-101

We will introduce the twisted relative trace formula and prove a relative fundamental lemma in this setting using an analogue of Kottwitz's argument in the base change situation. Applications to the study of distinction on unitary groups will be...

Reduction Theory for p-Adic Moduli Spaces of Abelian Varieties and p-Divisible Groups
L. Fargues
2:00pm|S-101

I will first explain one can parametrize some particular cases of p-adic moduli spaces of p-divisible groups, Lubin-Tate spaces, by the geometric realization of Bruhat-Tits buildings. By a p-adic space I mean Berkovich analytic space. I will then...

Formal Degrees and Adjoint Gamma Factors
10:30am|S-101

Harish-Chandra established the Plancherel formula for reductive groups over local fields, in which formal degrees and Plancherel measures are key ingredients. In this talk, we give a natural extension of Langlands' conjecture, which relates...

On the Cohomology of Some Non-Compact Shimura Varieties III: Applications
2:00pm|S-101

In this talk, I will at long last give applications of the previous two technical talks. First I will give some direct (and imperfect) applications to representations of the unitary or symplectic groups themselves. Then I will present some...
