This workshop
will focus on issues surrounding the effective
calculation of:
zeta-functions of varieties over finite fields and of motives attached to
modular forms using techniques arising from l-adic and
p-adic cohomology;
p-adic L-functions attached to elliptic curves, modular forms,
and associated
Hida families.
The workshop
takes place at Far Hills Inn on January 1-4, 2004. It is financed by the
Centre
de Recherches Mathematiques and CICMA.
The number of participants is limited
due to the Inn's size. Limited financial assistance is available.
Please
contact Henri Darmon at darmon@math.mcgill.ca or
Jonathan Pila at pila@math.mcgill.ca if you are interested in
participating.
