Title: Gauss Manin Connection, p-adic Differential Equations and families of Elliptic Curves
Speaker: Zerui Tan
Abstract: In this talk, we’ll unravel the origins of the Gauss Manin connection associated to families of curves/objects, and use it to study families of integrals. Together with technical lemmas on p-adic differential equations, we obtain interesting arithmetic applications on examples of families of elliptic curves.
Some snacks will be provided before and after the talk.
