Around the proof of categoricity of modular functions
Abstract: This continues the lecture from a week ago. Within the large-scale framework presented then, a core proof (with variants of different sorts in the 8 situations mentioned) emerged: a connection between categoricity of modular (or Shimura, or...) curves in the setup put forth by Zilber et al, on the one hand, and behavior of the Galois representation (Mumford-Tate Conjecture) on the other hand. I will discuss various aspects of this proof, trying to give a general picture of (part of (one of the directions of)) the proof, and some technical issues that have emerged in our discussions with John Baldwin and Ronnie Nagloo.

Abstract: I will discuss the connection between the domain and variety side-- roughly where Ronnie ended-- and then describe the types that need to be counted.
