Andrei Jorza (Caltech)
Converse theorems and
p-adic families
The
compatibility between the local and global Langlands correspondences on
a certain reductive group can sometimes be reduced to the corresponding
compatibility over some GL(n), with the aid of converse theorems. Such
converse theorems are typically effective only for (globally) generic
representations. In the case of holomorphic Siegel modular forms we
discuss the interplay between a less restrictive converse theorem
(obtained explicitly) and p-adic families to compensate for the fact
that such forms are not generic.

Pablo Peleaz (Universtiy of Paris XIII)
The motivic spectral
sequence via birational invariants
The motivic spectral sequence which relates algebraic K-theory to
motivic cohomology is the analogue in algebraic geometry of the
Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence which relates topological K-theory
to singular cohomology. In this talk, we will present an approach to
the motivic spectral sequence via birational invariants, and show that
it is equivalent to Voevodsky's approach via the slice filtration.

Kannan Soundararajan (Stanford University)
Moments and the distribution of values of L-functions
I will discuss work on the value distribution and moments of families
of L-functions. We will start with values to the right of the critical
line, where the problem can be well modeled by random Euler products.
This fails on the critical line, and the L-values here have a different
flavor with Selberg's theorem on log-normality being a representative
result.

Spencer Bloch (University of Chicago),
"p-adic Hodge Conjecture"
The p-adic Hodge
conjecture says that for a smooth variety over the p-adic numbers, an
algebraic cycle on the closed fibre (i.e. mod p) lifts to an algebraic
cycle if and only if its crystalline cohomology class is in the
appropriate Hodge filtration level. Recent progress on this conjecture
(joint with M. Kerz and H. Esnault) involving continuous K_0 will be
explained.
