Tamagawa number conjecture
Abstract : Associated to a smooth, projective variety X defined over a
number field are various cohomology theories that are known/expected
to be compatible with each other. These compatibilities give rise to
natural arithmetic invariants of X. The Tamagawa number conjecture
predicts the relation between these invariants and the L-function of
X. In this talk, we shall look at the formulation of the conjecture
and consider two special cases -- X = a point (Spec K) and X =
elliptic curve.
