Workshop on Motives, Galois Representations and Cohomology around the Langlands Program

Abstract: I will discuss a recent conjecture formulated in an ongoing project with Jan Vonk relating the intersection numbers of one-dimensional topological cycles on certain Shimura curves to the arithmetic intersections of associated real multiplication points on the Drinfeld p-adic upper half-plane. Numerical experiments carried out with Vonk and James Rickards supporting the conjecture will be described.
