The fundamental conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer relating the Mordell–Weil ranks of elliptic curves to their L-functions is one of the most important and motivating problems in number theory. It resides at the heart of a collection of important conjectures (due especially to Deligne, Beilinson, Bloch and Kato) that connect values of L-functions and their leading terms to cycles and Galois cohomology groups.

The study of special algebraic cycles on Shimura varieties has led to progress in our understanding of these conjectures. The arithmetic intersection numbers and the p-adic regulators of special cycles are directly related to the values and derivatives of L-functions, as shown in the pioneering theorem of Gross-Zagier and its p-adic avatars for Heegner points on modular curves. The cohomology classes of special cycles (and related constructions such as Eisenstein classes) form the foundation of the theory of Euler systems, providing one of the most powerful methods known to prove vanishing or finiteness results for Selmer groups of Galois representations.

The goal of this semester is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of this young but fast-developing subject, and to make progress on understanding the mysterious relations between L-functions, Euler systems, and algebraic cycles.

Number Theory concerns the study of properties of the integers, rational numbers, and other structures that share similar features. It is a central branch of mathematics with a well-known feature: it is often the case that easy-to-state problems in number theory turn out to be exceedingly difficult (e.g. Fermat’s Last Theorem), and their study leads to groundbreaking discoveries in other fields of mathematics.

A fundamental theme in number theory concerns the study of integer and rational solutions to Diophantine equations. This topic originated at least 3,700 years ago (as documented in babylonian clay tablets) and it has evolved into the highly sophisticated field of Diophantine Geometry. There are deep and fruitful interactions between Diophantine Geometry and seemingly distant fields such as representation theory, algebraic geometry, topology, complex analysis, and mathematical logic, to mention a few. In recent years, these connections have led to a large number of new results and, specially, to the partial or complete resolution of important conjectures in the field.

While the study of rational solutions of diophantine equations initiated thousands of years ago, our knowledge on this subject has dramatically improved in recent years. Especially, we have witnessed spectacular progress in aspects such as height formulas and height bounds for algebraic points, automorphic methods, unlikely intersection problems, and non-abelian and p-adic approaches to algebraic degeneracy of rational points. All these groundbreaking advances in the study of rational and algebraic points in varieties will be the central theme of the semester program “Diophantine Geometry” at MSRI. The main purpose of this program is to bring together experts as well as enthusiastic young researchers to learn from each other, to initiate and continue collaborations, to update on recent breakthroughs, and to further advance the field by making progress on fundamental open problems and by developing further connections with other branches of mathematics. We trust that younger mathematicians will greatly contribute to the success of the program with their new ideas. It is our hope that this program will provide a unique opportunity for women and underrepresented groups to make outstanding contributions to the field, and we strongly encourage their participation.

A primary goal of the Upstate Number Theory Conference is to bring together the specialists from the various branches of Number Theory in the Upstate New York region and surrounding areas, and to expose the younger researchers to new and old problems in the field.

ln this workshop, we will consider variants of Artin's primitive root conjecture leading to the study of the Galois groups of various radical extensions. Beyond the case of the multiplicative group studied by Lenstra and others, there are now also interesting results for elliptic radicals, and for division points in more general abelian varieties. ln this context, the elliptic analogue of Artin's conjecture is the Lang-Trotter conjecture, which is still open after more than 40 years.

The Galois representations associated to various division points in abelian varieties are central to understanding the Galois groups of the radical extensions that one tries to explicitly describe in this context, as they control the behaviour of the primes in the underlying problems. Understanding these Galois representations, and the entanglement between the extensions generated by different prime-power radicals, is essential to progress in this area.

ln this circle of problems and questions, one encounters interesting restrictions to local-global principles that will be addressed in this workshop, not only in the context of radical extensions.

This workshop will bring together leading, as well as early career, researchers on arithmetic statistics and on algorithmic aspects of algebra and number theory, with the aim of fostering collaborations within and between these communities, and to offer early career researchers the opportunity to get a broad overview of the most recent achievements and of the most pressing problems in these fields. The workshop will also celebrate the mathematics of Hendrik W Lenstra Jr.

The field of arithmetic statistics is a fast-moving area of number theory, dealing with distributional results for many basic and important objects: ranks of elliptic curves, central values of L-functions, number fields, modular symbols, orbits of discrete groups etc. The techniques involved come from diverse areas of mathematics e.g. automorphic forms, ergodic theory, spectral theory, dynamical systems, probabilistic number theory, representation theory and random matrix theory. This workshop intends to bring together researchers of all career levels to present their work and exchange ideas and techniques on arithmetic statistics. Motivated by the programme of Mazur and Rubin based on their computational study of elliptic curves over abelian extensions of fixed degree, the meeting will focus on modular symbols, Manin's noncommutative modular symbols, equidistribution of lattice points on the sphere, Heegner points, and closed geodesics, including the error term in the Prime Geodesic Theorem.

There will be invited talks lasting 50 or 25 minutes and other events aimed at facilitating discussions among participants.

A central topic in Diophantine Geometry is to understand how the geometry of a variety influences the arithmetic of its algebraic points, and conversely. Conjectures of Bombieri, Lang, and Vojta suggest that rational points of algebraic varieties satisfying suitable approximation conditions, are algebraically degenerate. On the other hand, conjectures on unlikely intersections suggest that algebraic points of special type —e.g. torsion points in semi-abelian varieties, special points in Shimura varieties— avoid subvarieties, unless the subvariety itself is also special (in a technical sense).

In recent years, a number of techniques have led to outstanding progress on Lang-Vojta conjectures, such as the Subspace Theorem, p-adic approaches to finiteness, and modular methods. Similarly, spectacular progress has been achieved on unlikely intersection conjectures thanks to new methods and tools, such as height formulas for special points, connections to model theory, refined counting results, and new theorems of Ax-Shanuel type (bi-algebraic geometry).

The goal of this workshop is to create the opportunity for these two groups to interact, to share their techniques, to update on the most recent progress, and to attack the outstanding open questions in the field.

The two directions described above are rather technical and specialized, and it seems necessary to bring together these groups of researchers to explain to each other not only the latest developments in their fields, but also the methods that made possible these breakthroughs. Thus, in this workshop we expect to have lectures explaining the main methods, as well as talks presenting the most recent progress in the subject by the world leading experts.

The Langlands program aims to relate systems of polynomial equations with integer coefficients to automorphic forms, i.e. functions on symmetric spaces with a large number of discrete symmetries. The focus of the trimester will be on some manifestations of this program, including:

moduli spaces of shtukas
p-adic techniques in local Langlands and the relation to geometric Langlands
Shimura varieties and more general spaces in global Langlands

In occasion of the seventh mini symposium it will be held, on May 2nd and 3rd, in Rome an atelier LEAN.
Attendance to the atelier LEAN is limited to 40 participants.

The spring school serves an introduction to the conference "Arithmetic Statistics", and aims to provide PhD students and early stage researchers with the necessary background to enable them to fruitfully partake in the conference. lt will also be an occasion for Master students to have an introduction towards research in number theory.

Along with lecture courses, there will be exercise sessions and a possibility to work on small research projects under the guidance of the lecturers and the researchers proposing them.

The lecture courses will take place in the mornings, while exercise sessions will take place in the afternoon, with extra time allotted for round tables and work in groups.

Lecture courses thematics are the following:

• Galois representations and Diophantine equations,
• Complex Multiplication,
• Class field theory,
• Zeta functions and L-functions,
• Abelian varieties.

This school provides an introduction to some of the main topics of the trimester program. It is mainly directed at PhD students and junior researchers.

This workshop is being organized in celebration of Bhargav Bhatt’s Nemmers Prize.

The theme of the conference is a type of number theory that has become very popular over the last decades, and that is influenced by the possibility of « experimentally » studying arithmetic objects with the help of a computer. Thanks to the wide availability of computer algebra systems, essentially any number theorist nowadays has this possibility at his fingertips. There are concrete objects that are not so easily determined « by hand », such as fundamental units in number fields of higher degree, or Mordell-Weil generators of point groups of elliptic curves, and a first impression of « what these typically look like » is often obtained by numerical experimentation.

Over the years, substantial datasets relating to number fields, elliptic curves and L-series have become available, enhancing our understanding of the arithmetic world somewhat beyond only the smallest examples, which may fail to show the true asymptotic behaviour.

This is a 4-day conference in the areas of number theory and combinatorics. I will include four plenary talks and a number of contributed talks. Please see the website for more details. This will be the ninth Integers conference.

Over the last 35 years, the Annual Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics has remained a small and friendly conference. Those attending range from students to new PhD's to established researchers. For young researchers, the conference has provided support and encouragement. For accomplished researchers, it has provided the opportunity to mentor as well as a forum for exchanging ideas.

The workshop has become internationally recognized for both its high-quality research talks and its supportive atmosphere for junior researchers. Participants present cutting-edge research in all areas related to automorphic forms. These include mock modular forms, Maass wave forms, elliptic curves, Siegel and Jacobi modular forms, special values of L-functions, random matrices, quadratic forms, applications of modular forms, and many other topics.

In addition to research talks, the workshop has, in the past years, featured panel discussion sessions on the topics of grant writing, mentoring and research partnerships, REUs and outreach, and opportunities for international collaborations. Based on the success of these sessions, we plan to have similar panel sessions this year as well.

Conference dedicated to the memory of Bas Edixhoven

This conference will be on various aspects of the local Langlands correspondence over p-adic fields and methods from p-adic Hodge theory. Topics will include the usual local Langlands correspondence, the p-adic local Langlands correspondence and the relation to coherent sheaves on spaces of Galois representations, and the geometry and cohomology of local Shimura varieties.

In the early 1920s, Emmy Noether introduced the fundamental concept of a Noetherian ring, a notion that has had a remarkably broad impact on mathematics over the last century. In this conference, we celebrate Noether's legacy with research talks from many areas of algebra, broadly construed, including algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, number theory, and representation theory.

This, the 16th in a series of Workshops in Alpbach, will feature minicourses given by world class researchers and invited talks by younger researchers, covering topics in arithmetic geometry related to Galois representations and heights. The emphasis includes not only deep theoretical developments, but also applications of a more concrete/computational nature. Minicourses presenting a broad overview of these topics, delivered by top international experts, will be complemented by invited talks highlighting recent progress.

Interest in specialization of polynomials and Galois groups goes back at least to the work of Hilbert on the inverse Galois problem. This theory has found an abundance of applications in Algebra, Number Theory, Group Theory, and Arithmetic Geometry. In recent years, the area is blooming and we see striking results that open completely new horizons: The discovery of Hilbert irreducibility properties of algebraic groups, its connection with expanders and random walks, the interrelation with arithmetic-geometric properties of parametrizing varieties, and the exciting progress on the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics. The conference aims to bring together leading experts and young researchers interested in the area. We plan to leave an abundance of free time, dedicated to informal discussions. We believe that this will encourage the transfer of ideas, techniques, and will foster new collaborations and new research directions.

Victor P. Snaith (1944 – 2021) was distinguished not just as an outstanding mathematician who made deep and lasting contributions in algebraic topology and number theory but also as a charismatic leader who enthusiastically developed research communities and generously supported young researchers.

The conference will bring together homotopy theory, cohomology of groups, algebraic K-theory and number theory, the main areas in which Vic worked. The aim is to feature important developments, paying special attention to synergies between these areas, as Vic did in much of his versatile research.

This will be a one week conference broadly focused on the topics of the LMFDB, mathematical databases, computation, number theory, and arithmetic geometry. The conference will include invited talks, presentations by authors of papers submitted to the conference and selected by the scientific committee following peer-review, as well as time set aside for research and collaboration. We plan to publish a proceedings volume that will include all of the accepted papers.

This is the ninth Iwasawa conference following conferences in Besancon, Limoges, Irsee, Toronto, Heidelberg, London, Tokyo and Bordeaux. The conference is dedicated to the memory of John Henry Coates.

This workshop aims at bringing together the leading experts in the field, covering a broad spectrum reaching from the more theoretically-oriented over the explicit to the algorithmic aspects. The fundamental problem motivating the workshop asks for a description of the set of rational points X(Q) for a given algebraic variety X defined over Q. When X is a curve, the structure of this set is known, and the most interesting question is how to determine it explicitly for a given curve. When X is higher-dimensional, much less is known about the structure of X(Q), even when X is a surface. So here the open questions are much more basic for our understanding of the situation, and on the algorithmic side, the focus is on trying to decide if a given variety does have any rational point at all.

This is a workshop with about 50 participants. Participation is by invitation. Every participant is expected to contribute actively to the success of the event, by giving talks and/or by taking part in the discussions.

The goal is to produce a collaborative environment for discussions of recent developments about spectral gaps, that bring together groups of researchers with different perspectives and backgrounds. All participants will be given fully catered accommodation at Collingwood College Durham

This conference will be on various aspects of the global Langlands correspondence. Topics will include in particular the geometry and cohomology of Shimura varieties and more general locally symmetric spaces, or moduli spaces of shtukas.

Number theory mixes techniques from various branches of mathematics and reveals unexpected connections between them. The first conference organised by the International Centre for Mathematics in Ukraine aims to overview recent breakthroughs in this field.

The event will take place simultaneously in two grounds with a live connection between the audiences at The Kyiv School of Economics and Stefan Banach International Mathematical Center in Warsaw. Students and young scientists are encouraged to take part. There will be special sessions organised to discuss research and learning problems stated by the speakers.

This will be a workshop in arithmetic and algebraic geometry, similar to the previous iterations (in 2017 and online in 2020). The intended participant is a graduate student, or a postdoc, or even a senior researcher. You will work on a single topic, possibly related to the Stacks project, in a small group together with a mentor for a week. Part of this process will be seeing how one builds new theory from the foundations. There will also be one or two talks per day covering advanced topics in arithmetic or algebraic geometry.

The Stacks project workshop will have some optional activities you won't see at other workshops. Adding references to and finding mistakes in the Stacks Project (and fixing them) as well as activities related to LaTeX use, Git, and GitHub. Overall these will be aimed at helping you contribute efficiently to the Stacks project.

During the 2023-24 academic year the School will have a special program on the p -adic arithmetic geometry, organized by Jacob Lurie and Bhargav Bhatt, who will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor.

The last decade has witnessed some remarkable foundational advances in p-adic arithmetic geometry (e.g., the creation of perfectoid geometry and the ensuing reorganization of p-adic Hodge theory). These advances have already led to breakthroughs in multiple different areas of mathematics (e.g., significant progress in the Langlands program and the resolution of multiple long-standing conjectures in commutative algebra), have uncovered new phenomena that merit further investigation (e.g., the discovery of new structures on algebraic K-theory, new period spaces in p-adic analytic geometry, and new bounds on torsion in singular cohomology), and have made hitherto inaccessible terrains more habitable (e.g., birational geometry in mixed characteristic). This special year intends to bring together a mix of people interested in various facets of the subject, with an eye towards sharing ideas and questions across fields.

The conference will be held in a mixed format. Conference sections: 1. Algebra and Number Theory 2. Applied Mathematics, Informatics and Computing in Environmental Sciences 3. Differential Equations and Applications 4. Geometry and Topology 5. Logic, Language, Artificial Intelligence 6. Mathematical Education and History 7. Mathematical Logic and Discrete Mathematics 8. Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Analysis 9. Mathematical Physics 10. Probability Theory and Statistics, Financial Mathematics 11. Real and Complex Analysis Thematic Minisymposia

The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers at the crossroads of algebra and number theory working on dynamic or asymptotic aspects.

The study of rational points on varieties is a field of special interest to arithmetic geometers. Over the past few decades, many techniques have been used to decide whether a variety over a number field has a rational point or not, and even to describe those points completely. In this program, we are mainly interested in the study of rational points on modular curves.

Elliptic curves, modular forms and modular curves are central objects in arithmetic geometry. Modular curves can be thought of as moduli spaces for elliptic curves with extra level structures. The objective of this program is to understand the theoretical and computational aspects of determining K-rational points on modular curves X_H(K) for various fields K and subgroups H of GL_2(ℤ/Nℤ) for any natural number N.

In the mini-courses, we give an advanced introduction to the theory of rational points on modular curves, under both theoretical and computational aspects. These courses would include an introduction to the geometry of modular curves, their ℚ-rational points, classical and non-abelian Chabauty methods, and related computational aspects. We also attempt to strike a balance between the more advanced topics and the down-to-earth examples.

In the discussion meeting, we wish to bring many experts across the world in the area of arithmetic geometry together to share their ideas and the current state of research that will facilitate future research in this direction. We strongly encourage participation of young researchers.

The conference is about recent developments in Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry. Its central theme is the geometry of Shimura varieties and related spaces in all its facets. Topics to be covered include: Integral models of Shimura varieties and the geometry of their reductions, p-adic and perfectoid geometry, special cycles on Shimura varieties, moduli spaces of Galois representations and (φ, Γ)-modules.

The biannual ANTS meetings are the premier international forum for the presentation of new research in computational number theory and its applications, including algorithmic aspects of number theory, including elementary number theory, algebraic number theory, analytic number theory, geometry of numbers, algebraic geometry, finite fields, and cryptography.

The aim of this meeting is to bring together people attacking key problems in number theory via techniques involving concrete or computable descriptions. Here, number theory is interpreted broadly, including algebraic and analytic number theory, Galois theory and inverse Galois problems, arithmetic of curves and higher-dimensional varieties, zeta and L-functions and their special values, and modular forms and functions. Considerable attention is paid to computational issues, but the emphasis is on aspects that are of interest to the pure mathematician.

Because of limited space, participation is by invitation only.
