Speaker: Xinyu Fang (Harvard)Title: Cohomology of algebraic varietiesAbstract:Properties of Betti, étale, de Rham, and crystalline cohomology of a smooth projective variety. Comparison theorems.Reference:$\bullet$ Poonen, $p$-adic approaches to rational and integral points on curves, Sections 5 and 6.For more details:$\bullet$ Deligne, Hodge cycles on abelian varieties, Section 1.$\bullet$ Lawrence and Venkatesh, Diophantine problems and $p$-adic period mappings, Section 3 (to see how cohomology theories are going to be used).
