PIMS-UBC Distinguished Colloquium: Umberto Zannier

  • Date: 03/02/2017
  • Time: 15:00
Lecturer(s):
Umberto Zannier, SNS, Pisa
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Some specialization problems in Geometry and Number Theory [video]

Description: 

We shall survey over the general issue of `specializations which preserve a property', for a parametrized family of algebraic varieties. We shall limit ourselves to a few examples. We shall start by recalling typical contexts like Bertini and Hilbert Irreducibility theorems, illustrating some new result. Then we shall jump to much more recent instances, related to algebraic families of abelian varieties.
