P-ADAGIO
Mission
To develop frontier p-adic and non-archimedean mathematics —in number theory, arithmetic geometry, and dynamical systems— and translate its methods towards open problems in natural sciences and philosophy of science, training researchers with structural vision and conceptual rigor.
Objectives
- Original research in geometry of p-adic spaces, Galois representations, and dynamics over ultrametric fields.
- Interdisciplinary applications: p-adic modeling of gene regulatory networks, morphogenesis, mathematical biology, and physics.
- Human resources training: supervision of PhD and master’s theses, postdoctoral stays, and undergraduate research programs.
- Outreach and dissemination: summer schools, graduate courses, and open-access publications.
- Multi-institutional collaboration: CIMAT, UNAM, IIMAS, and international institutions.
Research Lines
- p-adic arithmetic geometry — K3 surfaces, Fargues-Fontaine curve, p-adic Hodge theory, cohomologies.
- Galois representations — arboreal and p-adic representations, good reduction criteria, Galois correspondences.
- Arithmetic dynamics — dynamics over local fields, p-adic preimage trees, modular dynamics.
- p-adic methods in biology — p-adic models of gene regulatory networks, reaction-diffusion on ultrametric spaces, morphogenesis.
- Foundations and philosophy — condensed mathematics, toposes and dynamics, non-archimedean structures in science.
Group Description
P-ADAGIO is a research group dedicated to the study and development of p-adic and non-archimedean methods in arithmetic geometry, algebra, and dynamical systems, and to their intersections with the natural sciences and structural thought.
Our approach begins from mathematical rigor —in particular from the geometry of p-adic spaces, Galois representations, and dynamics defined over ultrametric fields— and extends to applied contexts in physics, chemistry, biology, genetics, and also toward the foundations of philosophy of science.
We conceive mathematics as a language capable of modeling not only the quantifiable, but also the profound: the discrete, the irregular, the ramified. We explore structures that do not follow the traditional measure, because —for us— life itself is non-archimedean.
