Jerry Yu Fu
Canonical lifting and isogeny classes of Abelian varieties over finite field
I will give a brief introduction from Serre-Tate's canonical lifting, the Grothendieck-Messing theory and their applications to class group and estimation of size of isogeny classes of certain type of abelian varieties over finite fields.

I will present some recently proved results by me and some with my collaborator.

Di Chen
A non-trivial bound on 5-torsion in class groups.
I will discuss A. Shankar and J. Tsimerman’s recent work on a non-trivial bound on 5-torsion in class groups of imaginary quadratic fields. I focus on ideas of proofs and assume several black boxes without proofs. This is a good application of elliptic curves and Galois cohomology.

John Yin
Bertini Theorems over Finite Fields/Poonen Sieve
Consider the question: What's the probability that a projective plane curve of degree d over F_q is smooth as d approaches infinity? Assuming some sort of independence, this should be something like the product over closed points in P^2 of the proportion of plane curves which are smooth at the closed point. A version of this turns out to be true, and it is proven through the Poonen Sieve.

Tejasi Bhatnagar
The theorem of Honda and Tate

In this talk, we aim to understand the classification of abelian varieties over finite fields, up to isogeny. To every abelian variety, we can associate a certain algebraic number. This is called a Weil-q number. The Theorem of Honda and Tate tells us that, up to isogeny this association is a bijection. We won’t necessarily prove the entire theorem, but we will see bits and pieces to understand whatever we can and mostly try and get an understanding of the important objects that we’ll come across.

Hyun Jong Kim
Cohen-Lenstra for imaginary quadratic function fields

A Cohen-Lenstra type statement is one which claims or states that certain objects are distributed inversely proportional to the size of their automorphism groups. Originally stated for class groups of quadratic number fields, Ellenberg, Venkatesh, and Westerland showed that an analogue for imaginary quadratic function fields over finite fields hold. I will introduce the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics for number fields and outline the proof to Ellenberg, Venkatesh, and Westerland's theorem.
