A famous example is the proof of Fermat's last theo rem by Andrew Wiles. An equivalent question is to study the set of rationa l points on a smooth projective variety. Algebraic geometers on the other hand often study the classification of certain classes of varieties. In or der to do so\, they need to compute certain geometric or topological invar iants\, for example various cohomology groups.\n\nIn this talk\, I will in troduce such a geometric invariant that also relates to the study of point s on varieties\, namely the Chow group of zero-cycles on a smooth variety X. Experts have suggested several conjectures about the structure of this group over p-adic and algebraic number fields. By carrying out specific ex amples\, I will explain the state of the art and will discuss some initial evidence towards the big conjectures. Part of this work is joint with Isa bel Leal.\n DTSTART:20181219T210000Z DTEND:20181219T223000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Valia Gazaki- University of Michigan URL:/mathstat/channels/event/valia-gazaki-university-m ichigan-292311 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
