Description

In recent years there has been a great deal of success in applying methods of analytic number theory to questions of arithmetic geometry. This conference will focus on three topics: o-minimality, heights, and "efficient congruencing". The first two topics have been very useful in attacking conjectures regarding "special" points such as the Andre-Oort conjecture, or more generally the Zilber-Pink conjecture, while the third establishes the Hasse principle for certain varieties associated with translation-dilation invariant systems at the threshold of the convexity barrier.

This program will include several conferences, to be posted separately.
