 Orateur(s) Alex Buium - , Titre Arithmetic analogue of some concepts in Riemannian geometry Date 23/06/2014 Horaire 14:00 à 16:00 Diffusion Résume Starting with a symmetric/antisymmetric matrix with integer coefficients (which we view as an analogue of a metric/form on a bundle over Spec($\mathbf Z$)) we introduce arithmetic analogues of connections and curvature (in which usual derivatives acting on functions are replaced by Fermat quotient operators acting on integer numbers). The Christoffel symbols are then matrix analogues of Legendre symbols. We prove that the curvature of the connection attached to the matrix defining the split $SO_n$ or $Sp_n$ does not vanish for $n$ at least~4. We also show that the curvature for these matrices vanishes to order 3" for all~$n$. Morally, Spec($\mathbf Z$) is curved" but only mildly" curved. This and related results could be viewed as first steps in a program of developing an arithmetic analogue of differential geometry". Salle Adresse
