Geometric and Differential Galois Theories
Description:... On March 29-April 2, 2010, a meeting was organized at the Luminy CIRM (France) on geometric and differential Galois theories, to recognize the close ties these theories have woven in recent years. This volume contains the proceedings of this meeting. Although it may be viewed as a continuation of the meeting held six years earlier on arithmetic and differential Galois groups (see Groups de Galois Arithmetiques et Differentiels, Seminaires et Congres, volume 13), several new and promising themes have appeared. The articles gathered here cover the following topics: moduli spaces of connexions, differential equations and coverings in finite characteristic, liftings, monodromy groups in their various guises (tempered fundamental group, motivic groups, generalized difference Galois groups), and arithmetic applications.
