Je présenterai d'abord une brève introduction à la théorie de la dimension essentielle quiest une mesure de complexité des certaines structures algébriques, par exemple destorseurs d'un groupe algébrique. Je discuterai ensuite la dimension essentielle des torseurs d'un tore algébrique
Canonical dimension is a numerical invariant of algebraic varieties X over a field F, that measures how far X is from having a F-rational point. This concept has been introduced in 2005 by G. Berhuy and Z. Reichstein, and was recently presented at ICM 2010 by N. Karpenko. In the first part of the talk I want to give you an idea of canonical dimension and to show how it is related to essential dimension. In the second part I will present a general result on canonical dimension, where the […]
