Perfectoid Spaces

This book contains selected chapters on perfectoid spaces, their introduction and applications, as invented by Peter Scholze in his Fields Medal winning work. These contributions are presented at the conference on "Perfectoid Spaces" held at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, Bengaluru, India, from 9-20 September 2019. The objective of the book is to give an advanced introduction to Scholze's theory and understand the relation between perfectoid spaces and some aspects of arithmetic of modular (or, more generally, automorphic) forms such as representations mod p, lifting of modular forms, completed cohomology, local Langlands program, and special values of L-functions. All chapters are contributed by experts in the area of arithmetic geometry that will facilitate future research in the direction.
