SUMMARY:Math Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:
 Algebra\n
 \n
 Joshua Lam from Harvard will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The 
 seminar title is "Calabi-Yau threefolds 
 and torsion in cohomology."\n
 \n
 Contact 
 Laure Flapan (flapanla@msu.edu) for more information.\n
 \n
 I'll 
 discuss some explicit examples 
 of Calabi-Yau threefolds (CY3s) with torsion 
 in various cohomology groups and consequences 
 of such torsion; in particular, I'll present 
 computations using p-adic Hodge theory 
 which answer some outstanding questions about 
 CY3s over finite fields. I will not assume 
 familiarity with Calabi-Yau manifolds or p-adic 
 Hodge theory.\n\n
