'Additive extensions and Pell's equation in polynomials'.
Abstract
We will discuss families of Pell's equation in polynomials
with one complex parameter. In particular the relation between
the generic equation and its specializations. Our emphasis will
be on families with a triple zero. Then additive extensions enter
the picture.

Quasi-Abelian Categories in Analytic Geometry
Abstract
In this talk I will give several perspectives on the role of
quasi-abelian categories in analytic geometry. In particular, I will
explain why a certain completion of the category of Banach spaces is a
convenient setting for studying sheaves of topological vector spaces on
complex manifolds. Time permitting, I will also argue why this category
may be a good candidate for a functor of points approach to (derived)
analytic geometry.
The moduli space of representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into SL(2,C)
Abstract
I will collect some results about the study of topological and algebraic invariants of this moduli space by using non-abelian Hodge theory. Some keywords are: Higgs bundles, Mixed Hodge structures.
