Algebraic Dynamics Seminar at Harvard
We meet in Room 232 of the Science Center, usually on Thursdays at 4pm. Seminars are typically two hours long, with a break in the middle and the second hour for more details. Please email me (Laura DeMarco) if you are interested in joining the email list, so I can send you announcements (and Zoom links if the talk is remote). The math department is locked, so let me know if you are not from Harvard but would like to attend a lecture.
Next talk:
Thursday, May 4, 4-6pm in Room 232

Title: The Zariski dense orbit conjecture -- Part 2
Abstract: In this talk, I will present an adelic version of the Zariski dense orbit conjecture by Junyi Xie which is a strengthening of the original conjecture formulated independently by Medvedev-Scanlon, Amerik-Campana, and Zhang. I will introduce the adelic topology, which is a stronger topology than the Zariski topology, and its main properties. Using the adelic topology, one can give simpler proofs of the conjecture in the case of endomorphisms of abelian varieties and endomorphisms of A^n given by the coordinatewise action of one-variable polynomials. If time permits, we will discuss Xie's proof of the conjecture in the case of the endomorphisms of P^2.
