This is especially true in of gems’, Michael Bycroft’s research the history of physics, where historians will shed light on how a shared interest have given far more attention to in precious and semi-precious stones the instruments that experimenters brought collectors, experimenters, built than to the materials that the craftsmen and merchants together in instruments measured. Gems address early modern Europe this problem because they were used to study phenomena (such as heat, light What can you do with a diamond? and electricity) that are part of physics ‘Science’ may not be the first answer that rather than biology or the earth comes to mind, but it was a common sciences. one in early modern France.

Surprisingly little has been written Dr Michael Bycroft about the early modern science of gems, University of Warwick in France or elsewhere. The assumption Early Career Fellowship seems to be that scientists ceased to see gems as a properly scientific category some time around 1600. It is true that, in the seventeenth century, philosophers and experimenters began to question the magical and medical properties that had long been ascribed to these intensely symbolic materials. But this questioning did not spell the end of gemology as a serious field of research.

Overview This has been another excellent year for the Heilbronn Institute, which is now firmly established as a major national mathematical research centre. HIMR has developed a strong brand and is increasingly influential in the UK mathematics community. There is currently an outstanding cohort of Heilbronn Research Fellows doing first-rate research. Recruitment of new Fellows has been most encouraging, as is the fact that many distinguished academic mathematicians continue to work with the Institute. The research culture at HIMR is excellent. Members have expressed a high level of satisfaction. This is especially the case with the Fellows, many of whom have chosen to continue their relationships with the Institute. Our new Fellows come from leading mathematics departments and have excellent academic credentials. Those who left have moved to high-profile groups, including several to permanent academic positions. We currently have 29 Fellows, hosted by 6 universities. We are encouraged by the fact that of the 9 Fellows joining us this year, 5 are women. The achievements of our Fellows this year again range from winning prestigious prizes to publishing in the elite mathematical journals and organising major mathematical meetings.

  • Arithmetic of Euler Systems
    Arithmetic of Euler Systems August 2015 Centro de Ciencias Pedro Pascual Benasque, Spain Organizers X. Guitart and M. Masdeu Scientific Advisers D. Loeffler and S. Zerbes Foreword The main aim of the workshop was to give an introduction to the recent developments in the area, in particular the work of Bertolini-Darmon-Rotger, Lei-Loeffler-Zerbes and Kings-Loeffler- Zerbes on Euler systems for Rankin convolutions, at a level accessible to graduate students and other younger researchers. The instructional part of the workshop consisted of 12 lectures giving an account of the above works, together with a selection of more advanced talks on related areas of current research. Students and postdocs volunteered to give talks themselves in the introductory lecture series; which were allocated and coordinated by David Loeffler and Sarah Zerbes, the scientific advisers. iii Acknowledgements The organizers wish to thank the participants for all the work they put in preparing the talks and typesetting the first version of these notes. We wish to thank also the Centro de Ciencias Pedro Pascual for its hospitality and for providing us with exceptionally inspiring setting. Finally, the organizers wish to thank Joan-Carles Lario for his help and guidance, without which this workshop wouldn't have been possible. iv v Lectures 1 Introduction to Modular Curves 2 Yukako Kezuka 2 Hida Theory 5 Chris Williams 3 Siegel units and Eisenstein classes 15 Antonio Cauchi 4 Definition of the global classes 26 Guhan Venkat 5 Compatibility in p-adic families 29 Francesc Fit´e 6
