Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics - Vol. 45

MODULI SPACES AND ARITHMETIC GEOMETRY
Kyoto, Japan 2004

edited by Shigeru Mukai, Shigefumi Mori (RIMS, Kyoto University, Japan), Yoichi Miyaoka (University of Tokyo, Japan), Atsushi Moriwaki (Kyoto University, Japan) & Iku Nakamura (Hokkaido University, Japan)

Since its birth algebraic geometry has been closely related to and deeply motivated by number theory. Particularly the modern study of moduli spaces and arithmetic geometry have many important techniques and ideas in common. With this close relation in mind, the RIMS conference Moduli Spaces and Arithmetic Geometry was held at Kyoto University during September 8–15, 2004 as the 13th International Research Institute of the Mathematical Society of Japan. This volume is the outcome of this conference and consists of thirteen papers by invited speakers, including C Soulé, A Beauville and C Faber, and participants. All papers, with two exceptions by C Voisin and Yoshinori Namikawa, treat moduli problem and/or arithmetic geometry. Algebraic curves, Abelian varieties, algebraic vector bundles, connections and D-modules are the subjects of those moduli papers. Arakelov geometry and rigid geometry are studied in arithmetic papers. In the two exceptions, integral Hodge classes on Calabi-Yau threefolds and symplectic resolutions of nilpotent orbits are studied.
