MATHEMATICS SEMINARS - 2012

Professor Ramesh Sreekantan
(Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore)

"Abelian surfaces, Kummer surfaces and the non-Archimedean 
Hodge-D-conjecture"


Abstract:
In this talk we use generalizations of beautiful classical geometric
constructions  of Kummer and Humbert to construct  new higher Chow 
cycles on Abelian surfaces, generalizing some work of Collino. These 
cycles can be used to resolve a non-Archimedean version of the 
Hodge-D-conjecture of Beilinson for Abelian surfaces.

Venue: Luigi Stasi Seminar Room, ICTP Leonardo Building, first floor.
