François Legrand (Tel Aviv) Parametric Galois extensions
Given a finite group G and a number field k, the main topic of the
talk will be parametric extensions, i.e. Galois
extensions of k(T) with group G realizing all the Galois
extensions of k with group G by specialization (with T an
indeterminate). Although one may think that there are only a few
parametric extensions, proving that a given finite Galois extension
E/k(T) with group G is not parametric is in general a difficult
problem and only a few examples are known.
In the first part of the talk, I will explain how parametric
extensions relate to some classical questions in Inverse Galois Theory
(e.g. the Inverse Galois Problem, the Regular Inverse Galois
Problem, the Beckmann-Black Problem...). In the second part, I will
present a systematic approach to give more examples of finite Galois
extensions E/k(T) with group G that are not parametric. The
strategy will rest on a study of the local behavior of the
specializations of E/k(T).
Matthias Wendt (Duisburg-Essen) New counterexamples to Quillen's conjecture
In the talk I will explain the computation of cohomology of GL_3 over
function rings of affine elliptic curves. The computation is based on
the study of the action of the group on its associated Bruhat-Tits
building. It turns out that the equivariant cell structure can be
described in terms of a graph of moduli spaces
of vector bundles on the corresponding
complete curve. The resulting spectral sequence
computation of group cohomology provides very
explicit counterexamples to Quillen's conjecture.
I will also discuss a possible reformulation of
the conjecture using a suitable rank filtration.
