Geometry and Physics Seminar: Bruno Kahn
- Date: 11/17/2014
- Time: 15:00
Lecturer(s):
Bruno Kahn, Jussieu
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
Applications of birational motives
Description:
I will give the definition of birational motives and explain how they can be used in various areas of algebraic geometry: counting rational points over finite fields, defining the "Tate-Shafarevich motive" of an abelian variety over a function field, shedding a new light on Roitman's theorem on torsion 0-cycles.
