BUNTES: p-adic Hodge Theory
2024 Spring
Spring 2024 BUNTES will cover foundations and topics in
p-adic Hodge Theory (pHT). Meetings will occur in-person at
Boston University's CDS building.
The first half of the semester will be dedicated to
the motivation, formulation, and constructions in
the foundations of pHT. This includes the notions of
Hodge-Tate representations, formalisms of admissible
representations, and the various period rings along with
their additional structures. We will largely follow the
first two parts of Brinon and Conrad's notes linked below.
The remainder of the semester will be dedicated to the study
of p-divisible groups. The goal is to use the foundation of
p-adic Hodge Theory we've established in the first half of
the seminar and read Tate's seminal paper within this language.
The main references for the first half will be Brinon and Conrad's notes
[BrCo],
though speakers may elect to lean on one of the plethora of
other specialized notes available online. The main references for
the second half will be Tate's original paper
[Tate] and
Benois's Introduction to p-adic Hodge Theory
[Ben].
