Seminars for the week of 31 October, 2011
Colloquium
Nov. 3, 2011, 3:35 p.m., in vinH 16Professor Zhiwei Yun
of MIT
will speak on
Motives and the inverse Galois problem Abstract:
We will use geometric Langlands theory to solve two problems
almost simultaneously. One is Serre's question that whether there
exist motives with motivic Galois group of type E_8 or G_2; the other
is whether there are Galois extensions of Q with Galois groups E_8(p)
or G_2(p) (the finite simple groups of Lie type). The answers to both
questions are YES.
