The method of Euler systems models L-functions of automorphic forms in terms of motivic or Galois cohomological data (Galois cohomology classes). It is a major tool in the proof of the known cases of the Bloch-Kato conjectures.
The objective of the workshop is to introduce graduate students and junior researchers to the theory of Euler systems and the derived Kolyvagin systems as well as to the applications to Selmer groups. Classical examples of Euler systems such as the Euler system of cyclotomic units, elliptic units and Heegner points will be considered in detail. More axiomatic treatments in both the cyclotomic and anti-cyclotomic cases will be presented as a sequence of mini-courses, as well as the general arguments used for describing the structure of Selmer groups.
