Higher Epsilon Factors ("HEF")
       



This is the public webpage for the EU-funded project "Higher Epsilon factors". The research presented here was by performed by Michael Groechenig and collaborators during his time (October 2016 - June 2018) as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at FU Berlin, as a member of the group of Prof. Esnault.

The content of this project lies in the transition zone between algebra and analysis. It is concerned with the study of systems of differential equations (as they arrive in algebraic geometry) from an arithmetic perspective. This leads to a mix of algebraic, categorical and analytical methods and sheds new light on the structures governing differential equations (that is, holonomic D-modules on algebraic varieties, Higgs bundles, F-isocrystals).
