Pure Math Colloquium: Algebraic, analytic, and non-Archimedean geometry:

Algebraic geometry is (in part) concerned with solutions to polynomial equations with complex coefficients. It can be studied using complex analytic geometry, taking into account the standard absolute value on the complex numbers. There is a parallel world of non-Archimedean geometry, using instead the trivial absolute value. I will explain some relationships between the three types of geometry.
