Lecturer(s):
Laurent Berger, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Iterated extensions and p-adic dynamical systems.

Organizers:

Let K be a field and let P be a polynomial. What can we say about the field generated by the roots of P and of all its iterates? I will discuss some questions motivated by this general problem when K is a p-adic field. Along the way, we'll see Coleman power series, p-adic dynamical systems and a little bit of p-adic Hodge theory.
