Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Arithmetic Geometry
Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 38/2016 DOI: 10.4171/OWR/2016/38 Arithmetic Geometry Organised by Gerd Faltings, Bonn Johan de Jong, New York Peter Scholze, Bonn 7 August – 13 August 2016 Abstract. Arithmetic geometry is at the interface between algebraic geom- etry and number theory, and studies schemes over the ring of integers of number fields, or their p-adic completions. An emphasis of the workshop was on p-adic techniques, but various other aspects including Hodge theory, Arakelov theory and global questions were discussed. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 11G99. Introduction by the Organisers The workshop Arithmetic Geometry was well attended by over 50 participants from various backgrounds. It covered a wide range of topics in algebraic geometry and number theory, with some focus on p-adic questions. Using the theory of perfectoid spaces and related techniques, a number of results have been proved in recent years. At the conference, Caraiani, Gabber, Hansen and Liu reported on such results. In particular, Liu explained general p-adic versions of the Riemann–Hilbert and Simpson correspondences, and Caraiani reported on results on the torsion in the cohomology of Shimura varieties. This involved the geometry of the Hodge–Tate period map, which Hansen extended to a general Shimura variety, using the results reported by Liu. Moreover, Gabber proved degeneration of the Hodge spectral sequence for all proper smooth rigid spaces over nonarchimedean fields of characteristic 0, or even in families, by proving a spreading out result for proper rigid spaces to reduce to a recent result in p-adic Hodge theory. -

Modeling Dependence Beyond Correlation
4 Modeling Dependence beyond Correlation Christian Genest and Johanna G. Neˇslehov´a McGill University, Montr´eal,QC As scientists, looking for relationships between variables is an essential part of our efforts to understand the world, identify the causes of illnesses, assess climate change, predict economic cycles or guard against catastrophic events such as tsunamis or financial crises. Statistical models are often used for this purpose. To many scientists and engineers, this is synonymous with correlation and regression because these techniques are typically the first, if not the only ones, to which they were exposed. However, thanks in part to the work of Canadian statisticians, we now know that there is much more to dependence than correlation, regression, and the omnipresent \bell-shaped curve" of basic statistics textbooks. As we will demonstrate in this chapter, those who are oblivious to new tools may miss important messages hidden in their data. 4.1 Beyond the Normal Brave Old World It is often said that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and so it is with those who believe that the Normal law, or \bell-shaped curve," is the appropriate model for just about every phenomenon measured on a continuous scale. In reality, many variables of interest just aren't Normally distributed, whatever scale you use. This is typically the case for financial losses, insurance claims, precipitation amounts and the height of storm surges, among others. The problem is even more pervasive when several variables are involved. For example, McNeil (1997) analyzed losses above one million Danish kro- ner arising from fire claims made to the Copenhagen Re insurance company between 1980 and 1990. -

More precisely, for a prime p>2 and a wide open disk U in the weight space, we construct a Hecke-Galois-equivariant morphism from the space of families of overconvergent modular symbols over U to the space of families of overconvergent modular forms over U. In addition, for all but finitely many weights λ ∈ U, this morphism provides a description of the finite slope part of the space of overconvergent modular symbols of weight λ in terms of the finite slope part of the space of overconvergent modular forms of weight λ + 2. -
