Title

Homotopical Arithmetic Geometry of Stacks

Abstract

Moduli spaces of curves possess properties which make them ideal spaces where to concretely study fundamental abstract theories of arithmetic geometry: they give geometric Galois representations that can be computed explicitly, furnish examples of anabelian spaces, and in genus zero generate the category of mixed Tate motives. They also possess a dual nature, being either considered as schemes or algebraic stacks.

The goal of this series of talks is to provide a basic introduction to these aspects by covering various fundamental geometric and arithmetic properties. It is intended for graduate students in algebraic geometry and non-specialists researchers. Elementary notions will be either recalled or illustrated with pictures/examples.

I- Algebraic & Deligne-Mumford Stacks (lectures 1 and 2) Taking the functor of points for schemes as initial motivation, we introduce the notion of stacks as lax functors in groupoids with descent conditions and show how to recover Laumon-Moret-Bailly's original definition. We present how the Artin and Deligne-Mumford algebraic versions -- that admit topological coverings by schemes -- allow to push'' algebraic geometry properties in this context. Keywords: diagrams of groupoids, Grothendieck topology and etale/ffpf/smooth morphisms, examples of global quotient and inertia stacks.

II - Moduli Problems & Moduli Spaces of Curves (lecture 3) We present how the scheme-stack structures and the geometry of curves lead to two solutions for building classifying spaces. Having introduced the notion of functor of moduli, we present Gieseker and Deligne-Mumford constructions of the moduli space of curves: the former follows Mumford G.I.T-theory and give a quasi-projective scheme, the latter produces a smooth algebraic Deligne-Mumford global stack with a nice stable compactification. Keywords: Hilbert scheme, explicit examples in low genus, stable compactification, formal neighbourhood.

III - Fundamental Group & Arithmetic (lecture 4) We follow Grothendieck construction of the etale fundamental group that leads to Geometric Galois actions of the absolute Galois group of rational on the geometric fundamental group of moduli stack of curves. We adapt this approach in the case of Deligne-Mumford stacks and show how it leads to a divisorial and a stack arithmetic of the spaces. Following the seminal work of Ihara, Matsumoto and Nakamura, we present explicit results and properties of the former, then recent similar results in the case of cyclic inertia for the latter. Keywords: properties of the etale fundamental group, explicit computations in low dimensions, tangential base points and representations.

IV - Motivic Theory for Moduli Stack of Curves (lecture 5) We present recent progress on an ongoing project on the construction of a category of motives for the moduli stacks of curves, whose main property is to reflect the arithmetic properties of the cyclic stack inertia. Having recalled briefly what the category of mixed motives should be, we first present Morel-Voevodski stable/unstable motivic homotopy categories, then how their homotopical-simplicial approach is well adapted to our goal. Keywords: Quillen model category, Artin-Mazur etale topological type, Mixed Tate motives and loop space.

Abstract

Hilbert's seventh problem is about the linear independence question of two logarithms of algebraic numbers, which was solved by Gelfond and Schneider in the 1930s. Later on, it was generalized to several logarithms of algebraic numbers by Baker in the 1960s and generalized to general abelian logarithms of algebraic points by Wuestholz in the 1980s. This phenomenon can be also asked for multiple zeta values, but it is still open. In the first talk, we will give a survey on the classical theory and report recent progress on the parallel questions for function fields in positive characteristic. Current methods and tools of transcendence theory using t-motives will be discussed in the second and third talks.

Abstract

Let $X$ be a hyperbolic curve over $\overline Q_p$. I am interested in the following property: for every semistable model $\mathcal X$ of $X$ and every closed point $x$ of the special fiber there exists a finite covering $Y$ of $X$ such that the minimal semistable model $\mathcal Y$ of $Y$ above $\mathcal X$ has a vertical component above $x$. I will try to explain why hyperbolic Mumford curves satisfy this property. I will give anabelian appplications of this to the tempered fundamental group.

Points on $X_0^+(N)$ over quadratic fields
(joint work with F. Momose)

Abstract:  Momose (1987) studied the rational points on the modular curve $X_0^+(N)$ for a composite number $N$. He showed that the rational points on $X_0^+(N)$ consist of cusps and CM points under certain conditions on a prime divisor $p$ of $N$. But $p=37$ was excluded. For $37$ is peculiar because $X_0(37)$ is a hyperelliptic curve and $w_{37}$ is not the hyperelliptic involution. We show that the rational points on $X_0^+(37M)$ consist of cusps and CM points. We also show that the $K$-rational points on $X_0^+(N)$ consist of cusps and CM points for a quadratic field $K$ under certain conditions (both $p=37$ and $p\ne 37$ allowed).

On rational torsion points of central $\mathbb{Q}$-curves

Abstract:  Let $E$ be a central $\mathbb{Q}$-curve over a polyquadratic field $k$. In this talk we give an upper bound for prime divisors $p$ of the order of the $k$-rational torsion subgroup of $E$. For example, $p$ is less than or equal to 13, if the scalar restriction of $E$ from $k$ to $\mathbb{Q}$ is of GL$_2$-type with real multiplications. Our result is a generalization of the result of Mazur on elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, and it is a precision of the upper bounds of Merel and Oesterl\'{e}.

16:00--17:00
Pierre Parent (Univ. Bordeaux 1)
Rational points on Shimura curves

Abstract:  For $B$ a rational quaternion algebra, the Shimura curve associated with $B$ (or more precisely its quotient by certain Atkin-Lehner involutions) is a moduli space, in a certain sense, for abelian surfaces with potential multiplication by $B$. Proving that those curves almost never have rational points would therefore allow a small step towards the conjecture, attributed to Coleman and Mazur, which predicts the scarcity of endomorphism algebras for abelian varieties of GL$_2$-type over $\mathbb{Q}$. We will present a method to study such rational points, developped by A. Yafaev and myself, and recently improved by F. Gillibert.

Arithmetic from Geometry on Elliptic Curves

Christopher Rasmussen (Rice Univ.)

Abstract

One of the philosophies of arithmetic geometry made popular by Grothendieck was the notion that the structure of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbf{Q}$, could be determined from geometric (or even combinatoric) data. In a related vein, one finds that the arithmetic properties of a curve are sometimes determined by its geometry. Specifically, the structure of a curve as a cover of the projective line can have arithmetic consequences for the Jacobian of the curve. We will discuss this situation in the case of elliptic curves, where this connection between arithmetic and geometry can be seen very clearly.
