16:00Adam Harper (Cambridge) Number Theory Seminar 
L3 A number is said to be 
-smooth if all of its prime factors are
at most . A lot of work has been done to establish the (equi)distribution
of smooth numbers in arithmetic progressions, on various ranges of 
,
and 
(the common difference of the progression). In this talk I will
explain some recent results on this problem. One ingredient is the use of a
majorant principle for trigonometric sums to carefully analyse a certain
contour integral.

16:00 Jan Tuitman Junior Number Theory Seminar SR1 In this talk we will give an introduction to the theory of p-adic (or rigid) cohomology. We will first define the theory for smooth affine varieties, then sketch the definition in general, next compute a simple example, and finally discuss some applications.
