Explore advanced mathematical concepts through this comprehensive lecture series from the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics' trimester program on periods in number theory, algebraic geometry, and physics. Delve into cutting-edge research presented by leading mathematicians covering motivic Galois groups, multiple zeta values, Feynman integrals, modular forms, and hypergeometric functions. Learn about the deep connections between algebraic geometry and mathematical physics through topics such as string amplitudes, quantum field theory, and mirror symmetry. Examine specialized areas including Chow motives, polylogarithms, elliptic curves, and automorphic forms while gaining insights into computational methods for hypergeometric equations and special values of L-functions. Discover the latest developments in motivic periods, Galois symbols, and the arithmetic properties of various mathematical structures. Access expert presentations on cluster algebras, Hodge theory, and the geometric interpretation of mathematical objects ranging from modular curves to Fermat varieties. Benefit from discussions on both theoretical foundations and practical computational approaches in modern algebraic geometry and number theory research.
