Abstract
A prism is an algebro-geometric object recently introduced by Bhatt-Scholze, and it has led to many powerful applications in number theory and algebraic geometry. In this talk, we will discuss what a prism is, together with examples (in a less technical manner).
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).
