Analytic and Arithmetic Geometry Workshop: Variations on quadratic Chabauty

Jennifer Balakrishnan
(Oxford University)
Abstract

We describe how p-adic height pairings allow us to find integral points on hyperelliptic curves, in the spirit of Kim's nonabelian Chabauty program. In particular, we discuss how to carry out this ``quadratic Chabauty'' method over quadratic number fields (joint work with Amnon Besser and Steffen Mueller) and present related ideas to find rational points on bielliptic genus 2 curves (joint work with Netan Dogra).

(Spin) Topological Quantum Field Theory

Thomas Wasserman
(Oxford)
Abstract

This'll be a nice and slow paced introduction to topological quantum field theory in general, and 1-2-3 dimensional theories in particular. If time permits I will explain the spin version of these and their connection to physics. There will be lots of pictures.
