Speaker: David Roe
Title: p-adic Arithmetic in SAGE
}}}
Abstract: I will outline the current status of $p$-adic arithmetic in Sage. In particular, I will discuss the different types of $p$-adics in Sage, extensions of $\mathbf Q_p$, polynomials and matrices over such local fields and their rings of integers. I will outline a number of algorithms for treating precision in polynomial and matrix computations. Come with comments on what aspects of $p$-adic arithmetic are most needed for your own projects.

Title: Identities between p-adic multi-polylogs and p-adic zeta values

Abstract: This is a talk about some work in progress which involves identities between $p$-adic multipolylogs and $p$-adic zeta values. Some I can (almost) prove others I can't and I find pretty surprising. Mostly I'd like to have some feedback on it. It wouldn't really be that computational except for the issue of how to compute linear relations among constants in the $p$-adics (but the again may be this is well known--to others).

Three possible talks:
- Cython Status Report
- Coercion Status Report (maybe a bit more of a status report, I
intend to talk about the "right" way to discover coercion and why the
idea of base extension is wrong.)
- Coleman integration: I'm sure that Kiran Kedlaya would have more to
say about this than me--I'll be in touch with him about this.

Noam: I thought this basically comes down to lattice basis reduction,
much like linear relations among real numbers (or even vectors in R^n).
Since gp's algdep() program has no problem recognizing p-adic numbers
as algebraic I imagine that this is not just "known" but already
implemented, at least in gp and for this special case. Or is there
some specific context here that requires going beyond the usual
lattice method?

Abstract: I will cover libSINGULAR (with some examples, to show that the code isn't as scary as people believe), a bit of PolyBoRi, maybe something about CoCoALib, some benchmarks, and stuff we desperately need and don't know how to get. Obviously, I would throw in some benchmarks and stuff. Actually, I would like to add some (unrelated) slides on the state of sparse linear algebra over finite fields. That would cover what package can do it (not many!) and how SAGE is in that area (surprisingly good it seems for now) and what is done to improve it. Also, someone in the audience might have some input on William's echelon via solve idea adapted to this setting.

MORNING TALK 1
{{{
Speaker: Amnon Besser
Title: On the Computation of p-adic Height Pairings on Jacobians of Hyperelliptic Curves
}}}
Abstract: The talk will present an algorithm for the computation of $p$-adic height pairings on hyperelliptic curves over number fields. Our work
is not directly related to the work of Mazur Stein and Tate, though there are some similarities in the difficulties that occur and in the
use of Kedlaya's algorithm. I will first explain where this height pairing arise, and how it decomposes into a sum of local terms at the
places of the field. The most interesting is for places above the prime $p$. We use a description of these local terms given by Coleman
and Gross that uses the theory of Coleman integration. There are two parts for the computation at these primes. One computes a certain
projection from the space of meromorphic forms on the curve to its first de Rham cohomology, which can be computed using Coleman
integration and the theory of the so called double index. The second involves computation of Coleman integrals, which are however mroe
general than the ones computed in recent work on the subject (Gutnik, Kedlaya, ...) so there are some tricks involved which I'll explain. Finally I will discuss the situation at other primes, where there are still some delicate issues to resolve.

MORNING TALK 2
{{{
Speaker: Robert Bradshaw & Kiran Kedlaya
Title: Coleman integration
}}}
Abstract: We will discuss the theory of Coleman integration (as referenced in the previous talk), describe an algorithm for computing some Coleman integrals on hyperelliptic curves, and discuss (and perhaps demonstrate) how this is implemented in SAGE. Besides the application to computing p-adic heights, there are also potential applications to finding torsion and rational points on curves over number fields (also due to Coleman); we will say a bit about these too.
