Abstract
A fundamental question in number theory is Diophantine problems - finding integer solutions of polynomial equations with integer coefficients. In this talk, we will discuss how the geometry over p-adic numbers (for a prime p) can be used in studying such problems, by its connection to results and intuition from complex analytic geometry.
Speaker Intro
Yong Suk Moon joined BIMSA in 2022 fall as an assistant professor. His research area is number theory and arithmetic geometry. More specifically, his current research focuses on p-adic Hodge theory, Fontaine-Mazur conjecture, and p-adic Langlands program. He completed his Ph.D at Harvard University in 2016, and was a Golomb visiting assistant professor at Purdue University (2016-19) and a postdoctoral researcher at University of Arizona (2019 - 22).
