Prof. David Loeffler - University of Warwick
H103 14:30-16:30
An important tool in the arithmetic of modular forms, and hence of elliptic curves over the rationals, is the theory of Euler systems -- compatible families of p-adic cohomology classes related to the values of L-functions, such as Kato's Euler system and Kolyvagin's Euler system of Heegner points. I will describe recent joint work with Skinner and Zerbes on the construction of a new Euler system associated to Siegel modular forms, and ongoing work with Skinner, Zerbes and Vincent Pilloni aiming to relate this new Euler system to values of L-functions.
