[Turkmath:6280] Izmir Institute of Technology Math Department Seminars

[FARUK TEMUR]

Dear All, 

This week in Izmir Institute of Technology Math Department seminars, Dr. Enis Kaya of KU Leuven will give us a talk. 

Date and time: Wednesday, 29/11/2023 at 15:30 
Venue: Math Department Seminar Room 

Title: A journey into the world of p-adic heights 



Abstract: In Diophantine geometry, height functions measure the “size” of rational points on algebraic varieties. Such functions play a central role in defining and computing several interesting invariants in arithmetic geometry. 



A p-adic height function can be regarded as a “local” analogue of a classical height function, where p is a prime number, and there are several p-adic height functions in the literature. In this talk, we will journey into the world of p-adic heights. In particular, we will discuss the relationships among different p-adic heights and algorithms to compute them numerically.
