Workshop Lisboa: February 2024

Universidade de Lisboa, Av. Rovisco Pais
Sala 3.10.
February 12 - 16, 2024

An important aspect in the study of Fuchsian differential equations (defined over Q)
is the reduction of the equation modulo a prime p. This concerns in particular the
notorious problem to find criteria which ensure the algebraicity of the solutions,
culminating in the Grothendieck-Katz p-curvature conjecture. Surprisingly, differential
equations defined over a field of characteristic p have not been studied
extensively in the past. Most prominent are papers of Honda, Dwork, and van der Put,
among others, see the bibliography. But already the construction of the exponential
function in positive characteristic as a solution of y' = y seems to have been
overlooked until recently (but see the article of Fürnsinn-Hauser in this respect).
The workshop aims at getting an overview on the existing literature, to study concrete
examples (e.g., classical differential equations as the Airy differential equation),
to investigate the related Galois groups,
and to discuss various algebraicity questions.
Interested people are kindly asked to contact the organizers.

A ''period'' is the time which elapses until a process comes to the first repetition, which is then repeated over and over again. Pendula, Planetary Trajectories and Wave Functions are classical examples.
In mathematics, periods existed and were described for a long time until Kontsevich and Zagier introduced a precise and comprehensive definition as integrals over semi-algebraic sets defined over Q. Of special interest are the differential equations satisfied by periods, giving rise to many intriguing and fascinating phenomena and questions.
We will approach the topic in a very accessible and explicit manner, looking at concrete examples, computational aspects, various conjectures, and a comparison of main techniques.
Javier Fresán will give each morning an introductory mini-course. This is then followed by discussions and further presentations over the whole day.
Interested people are kindly asked to contact the organizers.

Numerous exciting results circle around the quality of specific power series:
formal, convergent, algebraic, Gevrey, Mahler, D-finite, P-recursive,
differentially algebraic, holonomic, hypergeometric, lacunary, G-functions, ..., with often sharp contrasts between characteristic zero and
positive characteristic.
For all these there are intriguing examples, counter-examples, particularities, results, techniques, comparisons, algorithms,
computations, conjectures. We wish to get a more precise view on all this material in order to focus on particularly interesting
problems and phenomena. The goal would be to design a prospective roadmap for future research and activities.
