Description:
As part of the Fall 1999 program in Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups, MSRI will host a one-week
workshop in Galois Actions and Geometry, October 11-15, 1999. The themes of the weeklong workshop will
include
Galois and braid group actions on fundamental groups of marked curves; Galois actions on fundamental groups of moduli spaces of curves; the Grothendieck-Teichmueller group.
Fundamental groups and geometry of moduli spaces; generalized Hurwitz spaces, modular towers; families of covers.
Connection with abelian varieties, Iwasawa theory, and modular forms; Galois representations and their images; nilpotent and motivic aspects.
Grothendieck's anabelian conjectures; fundamental groups of hyperbolic varieties and anabelian neighborhoods of points; conjectures on sections and rational points.
Galois cohomology; connections to embedding problems; fields of moduli of varieties and covers, descent.
Arithmetic of covers; related group theory; exceptional covers; special fibers; semi-stable reduction; p-adic uniformization theory of curves.
