Description
The Circle Method emerged one hundred years ago from ideas of Ramanujan, Hardy and Littlewood, and quickly became the most powerful analytic method for counting solutions to Diophantine equations. As the Circle Method enters its second century, new work is making significant advances both in strengthening results in classical Diophantine settings, and in demonstrating applications in novel settings. This includes function field, number field, adelic, geometric, and harmonic analytic applications, with striking consequences in areas such as ergodic theory, subconvexity for L-functions, and the Langlands program.
This summer school for graduate students and postdocs will present accessible lecture series that demonstrate how to apply the Circle Method in a wide variety of settings. Participants will gain both a foundational understanding of the core principles of the Circle Method, and an overview of cutting-edge applications of the method.

Timothy Browning (IST Austria)
Jayce Getz (Duke University)
Ritabrata Munshi (Tata Institute)
