Abstract
In the late 1970s, Fontaine and Wintenberger found that certain interesting fields of characteristic zero and p have the same Galois groups, which eventually led to the theory of perfectoid fields and perfectoid spaces by Scholze. I will explain examples of these mathematical obiects and why they are interesting. This is a less technical talk aimed at people in Number Theory and related fields.
