Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Tate conjecture ---------------------------------------------------------------- July 23 to July 27, 2007 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center Palo Alto, California http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/tateconjecture.html ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the conjecture of Tate which characterizes the cohomology classes of algebraic cycles on an algebraic variety X over a field k that is finitely generated over the prime field in terms of the fixed space of even-dimensional l-adic etale cohomology under the action of the absolute Galois group G of k. The main purpose of the workshop is to bring experts in various aspects of the field together to synthesize the known methods and then develop strategies for understanding and attacking the conjecture in a more general way. The workshop is organized by Dinakar Ramakrishnan and Wayne Raskind. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/tateconjecture.html Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than March 23, 2007. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. Before submitting an application, please read the ARCC policies concerning participation and financial support for participants. -------------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC): -------------------------------------- The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
