TITRE/TITLE: "p-adic numbers and zeta functions" LIEU/PLACE: CRM, Université de Montréal, Pavillon Andre-Aisenstadt, 2920, ch. de la Tour Salle / Room 6214 DATE: Le vendredi 2 avril 2004 / Friday, April 2, 2004 HEURE/TIME: 16 h / 4:00 p.m. RESUME/ABSTRACT: We give an introduction to the theory of p-adic numbers, and describe some of the applications to classical problems in number theory. The goal would be to show how some difficult classical problems have p-adic analogues which are often easier and give new information. The talk will be expository and intended for a general audience. Un cocktail suivra la conférence au Salon Maurice l'Abbe (6245). There will be a reception after the lecture in Salon Maurice l'Abbe (6245) |
