Computing Local Galois Representations Modulo 2 by Shalini Bhattacharya

Explore the intricacies of computing local Galois representations modulo 2 in this comprehensive lecture by Shalini Bhattacharya from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into advanced topics in arithmetic geometry as part of the "Rational Points on Modular Curves" program. Gain insights into the theoretical and computational aspects of determining rational points on modular curves, with a focus on elliptic curves, modular forms, and their applications in number theory. Learn about the geometry of modular curves, Q-rational points, Chabauty methods, and related computational techniques. Suitable for researchers and graduate students in mathematics, this talk contributes to the broader discussion on arithmetic geometry and its current state of research.
