Generalized Tate-Shafarevich groups over function fields
Abstract
Given a smooth geometrically connected curve C over a perfect field k and a smooth commutative group scheme G defined over the function field K of C, one can consider isomorphism classes of G-torsors locally trivial at completions of K coming from closed points of C. They form a generalized Tate-Shafarevich group which specializes to the classical one in the case when k is finite. Recently, these groups have been studied over other base fields k as well, for instance p-adic or number fields. Surprisingly, finiteness can be proven in some cases but there are also quite a few open questions which I plan to discuss in my talk.
Congratulations to Ruth and Alex who have won the award presented by the Journal of Theoretical Biology for best research paper 2024, in Ruth and Alex's case for 'Parameter identifiability and model selection for sigmoid population growth models'.
