Intensive research period · Spring 2027

A Special Trimester in Arithmetic Geometry

A research program at the University of Milan bringing together long-term visitors, PhD courses, weekly seminars, and four international conferences.

Dates
April – July 2027
Host
Department of Mathematics “Federigo Enriques”
Location
University of Milan · Milano, Italy

The trimester

Research across modern arithmetic geometry

The program connects arithmetic geometry with p-adic Hodge theory, L-functions, motivic homotopy theory, algebraic K-theory, and higher and derived methods.

Long-term visitors will take part in two regular weekly seminars — a study seminar open to PhD students and a research seminar — interact with the local community, and contribute to training activities for early-career researchers. Four conference weeks provide concentrated opportunities for lectures, discussion, and new collaborations, and two 20-hour PhD courses run between them.

Preliminary information. Speaker lists, detailed schedules, and timetables will be announced as they become available. Registration for each event, and information about support for junior participants, is collected on the registration page.

Training program

PhD courses

Two thematic courses for PhD students will run during the trimester. Dates, rooms, and registration details will be posted when confirmed.

Course I

Étale and tame cohomology, from algebraic to rigid geometry

Shuji SaitoUniversity of Tokyo

This PhD course explores étale and tame cohomology, tracing their development from classical algebraic geometry to modern rigid analytic geometry. It begins with the foundational properties of the étale site, covering classical results.

Addressing the pathological behaviour of étale cohomology for p-torsion sheaves in positive characteristic, the course then introduces the tame site, which resolves these structural deficiencies by suppressing wild ramification. Finally, these tools are applied to rigid analytic varieties and adic spaces.

Course II

Derived Tate adic spaces and analytic D-modules

Juan Esteban Rodríguez CamargoUniversity of Bonn

Applying the new theory of analytic stacks of Clausen and Scholze, the course introduces a general notion of derived Tate adic spaces. This formalism is used to define the analytic de Rham stack in rigid geometry, extending the theory of 𝒟̂-modules of Ardakov and Wadsley to the theory of analytic D-modules.

Foundational results will include the existence of a six-functor formalism and Poincaré duality for analytic D-modules, generalizing previous work of Bode. Finally, the course relates the theory of analytic D-modules to previous work of the speaker with Rodrigues Jacinto on solid locally analytic representations of p-adic Lie groups.
