Consider a reductive group G over a p-adic field F. The local Langlands conjecture relates the irreducible smooth representations of G(F) with the set of (local) L-parameters, which are maps from the Weil group of F to the L-group of G; refinements of the conjecture relate the fibres of this map with the automorphism group of the L-parameter. Based on ideas from V. Lafforgue's work in the global function field case, I outlined a strategy for attaching (semisimple) L-parameters to irreducible smooth representations of G(F) in my 2014 Berkeley course. At the same time and place, L. Fargues formulated a conjecture relating the local Langlands conjecture with a geometric Langlands conjecture on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. The goal of this course will be to discuss some of the developments since then. On the foundational side, this concerns basics on the etale cohomology of diamonds including smooth and proper base change and Poincare duality, leading up to a good notion of "constructible" sheaves on the stack of G-bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve. On the applied side, this concerns the construction of (semisimple) L-parameters, the conjecture of Harris (as modified by Viehmann) on the cohomology of non-basic Rapoport-Zink spaces, and the conjecture of Kottwitz on the cohomology of basic Rapoport-Zink spaces.

Abstract: The theory of skeletons gives a way to write a non-Archimedean analytic space as fibred generically in tori over a polyhedral complex of (real) dimension equal to that of the analytic space. One does this procedure in the hope that the polyhedral complex can eventually tell us something about the original space. This is a precise version of a still mainly conjectural picture in complex geometry.

I'll give a panoramic overview of the various structures appearing in the subject, the techniques involved in constructing them, and what they can do for us.

Let G be a semi-simple and simply connected group and X an algebraic curve. We consider Bun_G(X), the moduli space of G-bundles on X. In their celebrated paper, Atiyah and Bott gave a formula for the cohomology of Bun_G, namely H^*(Bun_G)=Sym(H_*(X)otimes V), where V is the space of generators for H^*_G(pt). When we take our ground field to be a finite field, the Atiyah-Bott formula implies the Tamagawa number conjecture for the function field of X.

The caveat here is that the A-B proof uses the interpretation of Bun_G as the space of connection forms modulo gauge transformations, and thus only works over complex numbers (but can be extend to any field of characteristic zero). In the talk we will outline an algebro-geometric proof that works over any ground field. As its main geometric ingredient, it uses the fact that the space of rational maps from X to G is homologically contractible. Because of the nature of the latter statement, the proof necessarily uses tools from higher category theory. So, it can be regarded as an example how the latter can be used to prove something concrete: a construction at the level of 2-categories leads to an equality of numbers.

Small compact objects orbiting supermassive back holes are an important potential source of gravitational radiation. Detection of such waves and the parameter estimation of their sources will require accurate waveform templates. To this eventual end, I present work on bound eccentric motion around a static black hole. In two separate approaches, I examine solutions to the first order (in mass-ratio) field equations. First, I consider solving the field equations entirely analytically in a double post-Newtonian/small-eccentricity expansion. Then I show numeric work wherein we use the MST formalism to solve the field equations to 200 digits. We use this extreme accuracy to fit for previously unknown PN energy flux parameters, extending the previous state of the art from 3PN to 7PN.

Abstract: Given a complex reductive group G, there is expected to be a generalization of Donaldson-Thomas theory whose goal is to count, in an appropriate sense, stable principal G-bundles over a Calabi-Yau threefold. The standard Donaldson-Thomas theory arises when G is a general linear group. I will present some recent results on such a generalization when G is a classical group using the framework of quiver representations. The key new tool is a representation of Kontsevich and Soibelman's cohomological Hall algebra which is constructed from the cohomology of moduli stacks of quiver theoretic analogues of G-bundles.

Many of the main conjectures in Iwasawa theory can be phrased as saying that the first Chern class of an Iwasawa module is generated by a p-adic L-series. In this talk I will describe how higher Chern classes pertain to the higher codimension behavior of Iwasawa modules. I'll then describe a template for conjectures which would link such higher Chern classes to elements in the K-theory of Iwasawa algebras which are constructed from tuples of Katz p-adic L-series. I will finally describe an instance in which a result of this kind, for the second Chern class of an unramified Iwasawa module, can be proved over an imaginary quadratic field. This is joint work with F. Bleher, R. Greenberg, M. Kakde, G. Pappas, R. Sharifi and M. J. Taylor.

In this blackboard presentation, we will outline a new Palatini formalism for Galileon scalar field theories. After a pedagogical review of the Palatini formalism for GR, we will outline how this carries over to the spin-0 case. This will uniquely single out the Galileon symmetry and provides a first-order formalism for such theories. Finally, we present possible extensions including the coupling to gravity.
