Sage Days 36: p-adics in Sage

February 19-23, 2012, UC San Diego

This workshop will focus on p-adic numbers and associated structures in Sage. There will be a substantial emphasis on core structures (arithmetic, p-adic fields, polynomials and power series). Other topics may include: p-adic special functions, p-adic L-functions, p-adic Hodge theory, p-adic cohomology.

Venue

Workshop activities will be in the math department, in room APM 6402. Use this campus map to get oriented; look for building APM (Applied Physics and Mathematics).

We have a group rate at the Clarion Del Mar Inn. By default, everyone will check in on Saturday evening and check out on Thursday, and reservations are already made. If you'd prefer something else (arriving or departing early or late, a room upgrade from the default single with queen bed, extra rooms for family who want to enjoy San Diego...) please contact David at roed [at] math [dot] harvard [dot] edu.

We'll be commuting from the hotel to the math department in a fleet of rental cars. If you're interested in volunteering as a driver, please contact David as well.

Parking enforcement at UCSD is quite strict. Avoid problems by parking as follows.

• On weekends and holidays (in this case Sunday and Monday = Presidents Day): you may park for free at any space except those marked as "reserved". The closest lots to APM are P206 and P207 (see campus map).

• On weekdays: The closest lot offering visitor parking is P208 (see campus map). Buy a permit from the pay station, park in any B (green) space, and leave the permit visible on the dashboard.

The UCSD-GUEST wireless network is available throughout campus. This network provides Web and SSH access but not outgoing SMTP; your best bet is to use a VPN to connect to your local network. You can also use the eduroam network if your home campus supports this.
