I am Guillaume Pignon-Ywanne, currently a postdoc at Leibniz Universität, Hannover, under the supervision of Ben Heuer. I am concurrently finishing my PhD thesis, that I did at UMPA, under the co-supervision of Gabriel Dospinescu and Arthur-César Le Bras (defense planned on December 18th). Before that, I was a student at ENS Ulm.

My main area of work is in p-adic geometry, and I am interested in p-adic Hodge theory, representation theory, and the Langlands program.

(Pre)Publications

Mod p Poincaré duality for p-adic period domains, available on the arXiv here.

Here are a few documents I wrote that might be of interest :

• A preliminary version of the manuscript of my PhD is available here.


• My Master's thesis, "Extension groups of some period sheaves", under the supervision of W.Niziol, and based on this article by A-C. Le Bras and J. Anschütz (in English)


• A reader-friendly introduction to étale cohomology, relying on as little algebraic geometry background as I could (in French)


• My M1 thesis on Gudkov congruence in Hilbert's 16th problem (in French)


• A presentation on Lawvere fixed point theorem and some applications (in French)
