## Algebra/Topology Seminar by Herbert Gangl

Talk by Herbert Gangl (Durham University) Title: Zagier's polylogarithm conjecture revisited Abstract: In the early nineties, Goncharov proved the weight 3 case of Zagier's Conjecture stating that the special value $\zeta_F(3)$ of a number field $F$ is essentially expressed as a determinant of trilogarithm values taken in that field. He also envisioned a vast--partly conjectural--programme of how to approach the conjecture for higher weight. We can remove one important obstacle in weight~4 by solving one of Goncharov's conjectures. It further allows us to deduce a functional equation for $Li_4$ in four variables as one expects to enter in a more explicit definition of $K_7(F)$.

## Masterclass Lecture by David Sprehn

Lecture in Masterclass: Cohomology of arithmetic groups by David Sprehn (Copenhagen University). Title: Stable modular cohomology

• 8 May 2017, 10:00-11:00

## Masterclass Lecture by Andy Putman

Lecture in Masterclass: Cohomology of arithmetic groups by Andy Putman (Notre Dame) Title: Buildings, duality, and the high-dimensional cohomology of arithmetic groups Abstract: I will discuss topological results about the cohomology of arithmetic groups, focusing for simplicity on the group SL(n,Z). Topics include the Borel-Serre bordification, Bieri-Eckmann duality, the structure of the Steinberg module, and the high-dimensional cohomology of these groups.

## Joint Number theory/Geometry and Analysis seminar

Speaker: Henrik Schlichtkrull (UCPH) Title: Asymptotic density of integer points on wavefront spherical spaces Abstract: Given a homogeneous space Z of an algebraic real reductive group Gand an orbit D in Z of a discrete subgroup of G with cofinite volume, and given anincreasing and exhaustive family of compact subsets B_R (called balls) of Z,one wants to determine the expected number of points from D in B_R for large R.For the Euclidean plane Z this is the famous circle problem of Gauss.The talk concerns the solution of this problem, including an error estimate,for a particular family of homogeneous spaces and a geometrically definedfamily of balls.
