Title: A beginner's introduction to hypergeometric motives
Abstract: In this talk, we will give a brief introduction to the theory of hypergeometric motives, following the 2021 expository article of Roberts-Rodriguez-Villegas and the new paper by Madriaga-Pacetti-Rodriguez-Villegas released just last month. We will also touch on the definition and meaning of the motivic Galois group as described in the 2001 survey article of Kontsevich-Zagier on periods.
