"VIASM Annual meeting" is an official activity of Vietnam Institute for Advance Study
in Mathematics.
VIASM will invite highly reputed mathematicians to deliver lecturers on central topics of
contemporary mathematics. The lecturers will provide the audience with problems of
high interest in their research fields, main ideas and main results. The lectures will be
published in a special issue of Acta Mathematica Vietnamica.
The following scientists have agreed to deliver their lectures at VIASM Annual Meeting

Lectures:
Jean-Pierre Demailly: Hyperbolic algebraic varieties and holomorphic differential
equations
Every complex space carries an invariant metric known as the Kobayashi metric,
computed from extremal holomorphic curves. On projective varieties, Kobayashi
hyperbolicity is equivalent to the non existence of entire holomorphic curves. In general
it is expected that the existence of infinitely many rational points is related to the locus
where entire holomorphic curves accumulate. An important conjecture due to GreenGriffiths and Lang asserts that for every projective algebraic variety of general type, there
is a proper algebraic subvariety containing all entire curves, that would contain also all
rational points but finitely many. The description of this locus is strongly related to
certain global algebraic differential equations, given e.g. by holomorphic foliations. The
geometry of jet bundles and their cohomology plays here an important role. We will
discuss recent progress on these questions.
Hélène Esnault: Finiteness and companions, after P. Deligne and V. Drinfeld
Goal will be to present Deligne's existence of a number field receiving the coefficients of
an $\ell$-adic lisse sheaf of weight 0 on a normal scheme $X$ over a finite field,
Drinfeld's existence of $\ell'$-adic companions on $X$ lisse (Deligne's conjecture1.2.10
in Weil II), and Deligne's finiteness result for the number of $\ell$-adic lisse sheaves to
bounded rank and ramification.
Benedict Gross: On the arithmetic of hyperelliptic curves
In this talk, I will show how one can use invariant theory to study the arithmetic of
hyperelliptic curves of a fixed genus over Q with a rational Weierstrass point. I will
obtain an upper bound on the average rank of their Jacobians and will use this bound to
restrict the number of rational points on the curve (when the genus is at least 2). This
is a report on joint work with Manjul Bhargava.
Dinh Tien Cuong, Automorphism groups of compact Kaehler manifolds
Automorphisms of compact Kaehler manifolds are currently studied mostly from two
points of view: Complex Dynamics and Algebraic Geometry. In this talk, we will survey
some classical results, e.g. Theorems by Lieberman, Gromov, Yomdin, and some recent
progresses, e.g. a version of Tit's alternative obtained by D.-Q. Zhang.

The talk will describe recent results and conjectures about the following question: when
an unstable module can be the mod p cohomology of a space. One will focus on
qualitative results (but not only) rather than on specific cases.
