pdf * Algebraic Geometry Seminar
Motivic zeta functions and the monodromy conjecture for semi-abelian varieties
Lars Halvard Halle (Oslo)
4:00 PM in SEO 427
Let K be a complete discretely valued field with residue field k, and let X be a smooth K-variety with trivial canonical sheaf. To such a variety one can associate an invariant known as the "motivic zeta function" of X. This is a formal power series with coefficients in the Grothendieck ring of k-varieties, which measures how the set of rational points of X varies under ramified extension of K. I will talk about joint work with J. Nicaise, where we investigate motivic zeta functions for semi-abelian varieties. In particular, we prove that the motivic monodromy conjecture holds for these varieties.
