Date and Time: Wednesday 23 October, 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm.

Venue: Room 113, Department of Mathematics.

Title: Iwasawa theory for Artin representations.

Abstract: An Artin representation is simply a finite dimensional complex
representation of the Galois group of a finite extension of the rational
number field. Despite their apparent simplicity, Artin representations are
very complicated and much harder to study than apaprently more complicated
representations such as those attached to elliptic curves, and much of the
theory remains conjectural.

In this talk I will survey an aspect of the theory where Artin
representations are actually simpler and more concrete than other kinds of
representations.
