Date: October - December 2012, each Monday at 14.00h (exceptions listed below); there are two 90-minutes talks.
Place: 4, place Jussieu (Paris, France); room 417, corridor 15-16  (4th floor)

Description of the seminar:
    The goal of the seminar is two-fold. Firstly, we aim to report on the latest developments in the p-adic Hodge theory made by the use of adic spaces (and in particular perfectoid spaces). This includes some preliminary material on adic spaces in general [Hu], and then a discussion of perfectoid spaces [Sch1], Scholze's approach to the p-adic comparison theorem by the pro-etale site on adic spaces and the Fargues-Fontaine curve (from the perspective of perfectoid spaces) [FF].
    Secondly, we hope to extend and apply those results. We will report on the work of Scholze-Weinstein ([SW], see also [We1] and [We2]) on Rapoport-Zink spaces at infinity which are proved to be perfectoid. This point of view permits to shorten and simplify a proof of Fargues-Faltings isomorphism between Lubin-Tate tower and Drinfeld tower ([Fal]). Then we hope to discuss p-divisible groups over (algebraically closed) perfectoid fields and use this to simplify (and extend to new cases) a proof of Harris conjecture (conjecture 5.2 from [Ha], [Mant]). We will also try to explore a link between Rapoport-Zink spaces at infinity and \phi-modules over adic spaces.
