Naomi Sweeting - On the Bloch–Kato Conjecture for some four-dimensional symplectic Galois (...) @IhesFr

Uploaded September 2025 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

The Bloch–Kato Conjecture predicts a relation between Selmer ranks and orders of vanishing of L-functions for Galois representations arising from etale cohomology of algebraic varieties. In this talk, I’ll describe results towards this conjecture in ranks 0 and 1 for the self-dual Galois representations that come from Siegel modular forms on GSp(4) with parallel weight (3, 3); these contribute to cohomology of classical Siegel threefolds. The key step in the proof is a construction of auxiliary ramified Galois cohomology classes, which then give bounds on Selmer groups. The ramified classes come from level-raising congruences and the geometry of special cycles on Shimura varieties.

$Karol Penson - Remarks on Certain Parametrized Algebraic Equations We consider several instances of pairs of integer sequences $(c(p,n), a(p,n))$, for integer $nge0$, and rational parameters $pgt0$, that are interrelated through: $$exp(sum_{n=1}^{infty},c(p,n).frac{t^n}{n})=sum_{n=0}^{infty},a(p,n).t^n.$$ Exact statements (Kontsevich, Reutenauer...) indicate that the algebraicity of the ordinary generating function (gf) of $a(p,n)$s implies the algebraicity of the gf of $c(p,n)$s. We employ an experimental-type approach by guessing such algebraic gfs of $c(p,n)$s that furnish algebraic gfs of $a(p,n)$s. We use the $c(p,n)$s in form containing various binomial coefficients parametrized by $p$, and this results in their gfs that are generalized hypergeometric functions. In certain situations we can recover the algebraicity of gfs of $a(p,n)$ even without the knowledge of an actual functional form of $a(p,n)$. In cases that the $a(p,n)$s can be fully identified from given $c(p,n)$s, we derive novel logarithmic identities between various generalized hypergeometric functions. If, in addition, we conceive $c(p,n)$ and $a(p,n)$ as moments, we solve their corresponding Hausdorff moment problems with the method of Meijer $G$-functions. The behaviour of solutions (weight functions) is studied both analytically and graphically. *) In collaboration with: G. H. E. Duchamp, M. Kontsevich and G. Koshevoy.
