Speaker:  Professor Henri Darmon (McGill University)

Title: Generalised Kato classes and applications

Date and Time: Jan 19, 21, 26, 28; 10:00am-11:30am 

Place: N818

Abstrac: This lecture series will be devoted to various arithmetic applications of the eponymous cohomology classes of the title, to such questions as the equivariant Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture,  Perrin-Riou's conjecture relating Beilinson elements to rational points on elliptic curves, the theory of Stark-Heegner points, and the construction of explicit Selmer classes on elliptic curves in settings where the underlying Selmer group has rank two.
