Student AG Seminar: The magic of transmutation

Drawing inspiration from pioneering work of Simpson on de Rham cohomology, recent work of Drinfeld and Bhatt-Lurie explores how a rich assortment of cohomology theories can be geometrized via a process known as transmutation. In this talk, my aim is to highlight interesting applications of transmutation. As time allows, I will explain a novel approach to filtered prismatization and how it gives way to a theory of filtered prisms. This is based on joint work with Keerthi Madapusi.
