Joseph DiCapua, Louisiana State University
Lubin–Tate Formal Group Laws

In this expository talk, we introduce Lubin–Tate formal group laws. The torsion points of a Lubin–Tate formal group law are defined, and we discuss the endomorphism ring of such a formal group law. Certain torsion points are used to define Coleman's trace operator, an important tool in Iwasawa theory. We briefly mention how Lubin–Tate formal group laws are used in one construction of the maximal abelian extension of a finite extension of the $p$-adics.

Organizational Meeting

Please join us for the Informal Geometry and Topology Seminar. This seminar is an opportunity for grad students to get experience talking in front of an audience and practicing giving talks. In this first meeting, we will decide which topic/book/paper that we will follow for our discussion during the Fall semester. We will also have opportunities for individual talks. For more information, feel free to contact Matthew Lemoine or Krishnendu Kar.
