Special Year 2025-2026: Arithmetic Geometry, Hodge Theory, and O-minimality

Abstract: Building on previous work of Satake and Baily, Baily and Borel proved in 1966 that arithmetic locally symmetric varieties admit canonical projective compactifications whose graded rings of functions are given by automorphic forms. Such...

The goal of the workshop was to investigate recent progress on special cycles from various perspectives, and the connection between geometric and arithmetic methods.

Globally valued fields form a generalisation of global fields that fits into the context of first order (continuous) logic. I will describe these structures, and outline how they are connected to various parts of arithmetic geometry: Arakelov...

I'll introduce o-minimality from a user's perspective assuming zero background. I'll talk about some of the main examples of o-minimal structures: as a user of o-minimality your first goal is to find out whether your favorite set lives in one of...

During the 2025-26 academic year the School will have a special program on Arithmetic Geometry, Hodge Theory, and o-minimality. Jacob Tsimerman, University of Toronto will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor.

The special year will focus on recent...
