Description
The goal of this workshop is to survey recent developments growing out of the landmark work of Gross and Zagier on the special vlaues of Rankin L-series, and their arithmetic applications. The lectures in the workshop will be organised around 5 main themes related to the formula of Gross and Zagier. 1. History and overview of the Gross-Zagier formula (three lectures) Lecturers: Bryan Birch and Benedict Gross 2. The complex Gross-Zagier formula (three lectures) Lecturers: Benedict Gross and Shouwu Zhang 3. Anticyclotomic p-adic L-functions (two lectures) Lecturers: Massimo Bertolini and Vinayak Vatsal 4. Stark-Heegner points (three lectures) Lecturers: Harold Stark and Henri Darmon 5. Higher dimensional Gross-Zagier formulae (three lectures) Lecturers: Steven Kudla and Richard Borcherds Invited participants include: M. Bertolini, B. Birch, R. Borcherds, C. Cornut, H. Darmon, N. Elkies, D. Goldfeld, B.H. Gross, A. Iovita, K. Keating, S. Kudla, A. Pal, A. Rajaei, H. Stark, D. Ulmer, V. Vatsal, T. Yang, S. Zhang Group Photo of the event participants
