Speaker: Professor Gregory Pearlstein, Texas A&M University
Description:
Title: Normal functions and the Hodge conjecture.
Abstract: The theory of normal functions and the Hodge conjecture have their origin in the study of algebraic cycles by Lefschetz and Poincare. I will sketch the history of the subject and discuss some of my recent work on singularities of normal functions to the Hodge conjecture and the zero locus of a normal function to a conjectural filtration of Bloch and Beilinson.
