Graduate Student Seminar:" Perspectives on duality for abelian varieties"
Wed, April 1, 2009 4:00PM - 5:00PM

| Location: | Simons Auditorium |
| Speakers: | Joe Rabinoff, Joe Rabinoff |
| Abstract: | I'll talk a bit about duality for abelian varieties, both classically and using the modern theory. I'll then give an interpretation of the dual abelian variety as a relative Ext^1 in an appropriate Grothendieck topology, and show how one can recover the relative Weil pairing using a long exact
sequence in cohomology. |
