The absolute Galois group of the field of rational numbers is a fundamental object of study in number theory. I will begin by giving a tour of the representation theory of this group, with an emphasis on representations in characteristic p. In the second half of the talk I will describe my recent work with Gee, Liu, and others on generalizations of the weight part of Serre's conjecture on two-dimensional mod p Galois representations.
Refreshments will be served in MC 5046 at 3:30 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
