"The Fontaine-Mazur Conjecture and
Modular forms"
by
Mark Kisin
(University of Chicago)
Abstract:
The Fontaine-Mazur conjecture describes which p-adic representations of
the Galois
group of Q ought to arise from algebraic geometry. Combined
with the conjectures of
Langlands, it predicts these representations should arise from
automorphic forms.
