16:45	U2-200	Alexander Petrov (Bonn) Decomposability of the de Rham complex in positive characteristic [Abstract] Abstract: Deligne and Illusie proved that if a smooth variety over F_p admits a lift over Z/p^2 then the truncation of its de Rham complex in degrees <p is quasi-isomorphic to the direct sum of its cohomology sheaves. As a consequence, the Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence of a smooth proper liftable variety degenerates, provided that the dimension of the variety is ≤ p. However, further truncations of the de Rham complex of a liftable variety need not be decomposable. I will describe the obstruction to decomposing the truncation of the de Rham complex in degrees ≤p in terms of other invariants of the variety, and will use this to give an example of a smooth projective variety over F_p that lifts to Z_p but whose Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence does not degenerate at the first page. The proof relies on the existence of prismatic cohomology, but the key argument is a computation in homotopical algebra, motivated by a construction of Steenrod operations on cohomology of topological spaces.

16:45	U2-200	Emanuel Reinecke (Bonn) Unipotent homotopy theory of schemes [Abstract] In this talk, I will present a notion of unipotent homotopy theory for schemes, which is based on Toen's work on affine stacks. I will discuss some general properties of the resulting unipotent homotopy group schemes and explain how over a field of characteristic p>0, they often recover the unipotent completion of the Nori fundamental group scheme, p-adic etale homotopy groups, and Artin-Mazur formal groups. As examples, we will see computations in the case of curves, abelian varieties, and Calabi-Yau varieties. Joint work with Shubhodip Mondal.

15:15	U2-200	Patrick Bieker (Bielefeld) Integral models of moduli spaces of shtukas with deeper Bruhat-Tits level structures [Abstract] Integral models of Shimura varieties have been constructed by various people, culminating in the construction of integral models for Shimura varieties of abelian type with parahoric level by Kisin-Pappas. The purpose of this talk is to explain how to construct integral models for moduli spaces of shtukas - analogues of Shimura varieties over function fields - also for deeper Bruhat-Tits level structures. These integral models admit proper, surjective and generically étale level maps as well as a natural Newton stratification. Moreover, in the Drinfeld case they have a moduli interpretation in terms of Drinfeld level structures.
16:45	U2-200	Javier Carvajal-Rojas (EPFL and KU Leuven) Centers of F-purity and their behavior under finite covers [Abstract] Let X be an F-split variety (roughly, a strong form of ordinary log Calabi—Yau variety) and Y/X be a finite cover such that the F-splitting of X lifts to Y. How do the spectra of centers of F-purity (roughly, arithmetically tame log-canonical centers) of Y and X relate to one another? This turns out to be a very tricky question due to wild ramification. An optimal answer would look like Cohen—Seidenberg-type theorems for spectra of centers of F-purity. In this talk, I will report on work in progress with A. Fayolle (U. of Utah) where we address this question.

15:00	T2-220	Sabrina Pauli (Essen) A quadratically enriched Bézout theorem for tropical curves [Abstract] In enumerative geometry one counts the number of solutions to geometric questions. Classically, this is done over an algebraically closed field. Results from motivic homotopy theory allow to study these questions over an arbitrary field k and get a meaningful answer. One powerful tool to solve questions in enumerative geometry is the use of tropical methods: ``Tropicalization" turns algebraic varieties into polytopes and allows to solve these questions using merely combinatorics. In my talk I will present of one of the first examples of how to use tropical geometry for questions in enumerative geometry over k, namely a proof of the quadratically enriched Bézout's theorem for tropical curves.
16:45	T2-213	Mauro Varesco (Bonn) The Hodge conjecture for powers of K3 surfaces. [Abstract] In this talk, I will present some techniques that have proven to be effective in the study of the Hodge conjecture for powers of K3 surfaces. I will recall the construction of Kuga-Satake varieties and how it can be used to prove the Hodge conjecture for powers of K3 surfaces in some four-dimensional families. This talk is based on the paper [V]. [V] Varesco, M.: The Hodge conjecture for powers of K3 surfaces of Picard number 16. arXiv:2203.09778

16:15	T2-213	Sebastian Bartling (Essen) On the étale cohomology of the Fargues-Fontaine curve [Abstract] The Fargues-Fontaine curve associated to a p-adic field and an algebraically closed complete field in characteristic p behaves in many regards like a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field; this predicts a certain behavior of its étale cohomology (e.g. the étale cohomological dimension should be two), which was formulated in conjectures of Fargues. I will explain how to handle these conjectures in the prime to p torsion case and state what I know how to prove in the p-torsion case.
Wednesday 19 October, 2022
15:30	V5-148	Salvatore Floccari (Hanover) Sixfolds of generalized Kummer type and K3 surfaces [Abstract] I will explain a construction which associates to any hyper-Kähler sixfold K of generalized Kummer type a hyper-Kähler manifold of K3^[3] type. When K is projective, the associated variety is birational to a moduli space of sheaves on a uniquely determined K3 surface. As application of this construction I will show that the Kuga-Satake correspondence is algebraic for many K3 surfaces of Picard rank 16.
17:00	T2-213	Daiki Kawabe (Tohoku) Chow motives of genus one fibrations [Abstract] Genus 1 fibrations play a central role in the classification of surfaces. Let f : X -> C be a genus 1 fibration from a surface to a curve. Then there is a Jacobian genus 1 fibration j : J -> C that satisfies some good properties. In this talk, we prove that the motive of $X$ is isomorphic to the motive of J. As an application, we prove motivic finite-dimensionality for surfaces not of general type with geometric genus 0. This can be regarded as a generalization of Bloch-Kas-Lieberman's result to arbitrary characteristic.
