Speaker
Bruno Klingler
Humboldt Universität zu Berlin
Bruno Klingler is a French mathematician specializing in arithmetic and algebraic geometry. He is one of the most renowned mathematicians in arithmetic geometry worldwide. Bruno Klingler’s research focuses on the topology of varieties in relation to their algebraic and arithmetic structures.
Klingler earned his doctorate in discrete group theory under Yves Benoist at the University of Paris in 1997. In 2002, he was appointed Assistant Professor at Yale University, followed by a position at the University of Chicago in 2003, where he stayed for four years. Klingler considers his time at the University of Chicago a milestone in his career. Fascinated by the numerous high-level courses and the spirit of research fostered by world-famous mathematicians, he became familiar with other areas and shifted his research focus from discrete group theory to algebraic geometry.

Description
O-minimality studies “tame” topological structures. The goal of the course is to explain how to use it to control transcendental phenomena in complex geometry and Hodge theory (definability of period maps, compactifications of their images, Shafarevich conjecture…).
Prerequisite
Background in complex geometry, algebraic geometry and Hodge theory
Target Audience: Graduate students
Teaching Language: English
