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.

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.

Given a positive definite quadratic form X_1^2+...+X_n^2, a natural question to ask is can we find a formula for $r_n(m)=\#\{X\in Z^n| Q(X)=m\}$. Although no explicit formula for $r_n(m)$ is known in general, there do exist an average formula, which is a prototype of the so called Siegel-Weil formula. In this talk, I will introduce Siegel-Weil formula, and show how Deuring's mass formula for supersingular elliptic curve and Hurwitz class number formula follows from Siegel-Weil formula.

I will motivate and introduce the definition of a height. Then, I will talk a bit about Arakelov height. This will then lead into a recent paper by Ellenberg, Satriano, and Zureick-Brown, which introduces a notion of height on stacks.
