Events, Meetings, Workshops, and Conferences

Details about recent and upcoming events related to the collaboration can be found below:

  • LMFDB, Computation, and Number Theory (LuCaNT)

    Jul 10 - 14, 2023

    ICERM will host the workshop LMFDB, Computation, and Number Theory (LuCaNT).  The organizing committee includes John Cremona, John Jones, Jennifer Paulhus, and collaboration PIs Andrew Sutherland and John Voight. The focus will be 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.

  • Number theory informed by computation

    Jul 17 - Aug 6, 2022

    The Park City Mathematics Institute and MSRI will sponsor a three-week graduate school, co-organized by collaboration PIs Jennifer Balakrishnan and Bjorn Poonen. It will feature 11 mini courses, including offerings from David Harvey, Joseph Silverman ,and Andrew Sutherland.

  • Simons Collaboration Annual Meeting

    Jan 13 - 14, 2022

    The 2022 Simons Collaboration on Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory and Computation Annual Meeting will focus on the following themes:

    • Development and organization of software and databases supporting research in number theory and arithmetic geometry
    • Fundamental research in arithmetic geometry inspired by computation and leading to new algorithms
    • Explorations of L-functions, modular forms, and Galois representations with elegant and unusual properties

    Talks will present contributions from members of the collaboration and work by leading experts that may inspire future developments.

  • JMM special session organized by collaboration members

    Jan 7 - 8, 2022
    Seattle, Washington

    Collaboration members Eran Assaf, Edgar Costa, Brendan Hassett, and David Roe are organizing a AMS special session Explicit Methods in Modularity at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Seattle. It will be held Friday January 7 (1-5:50pm) and Saturday January 8 (1-5:50pm). The JMM have been cancelled and may eventually be rescheduled as a virtual meeting.  

  • Balakrishnan to give inaugural Moufang lectures

    Jul 13 - 16, 2021

    Collaboration PI Jennifer Balakrishnan will deliver the inaugural Ruth Moufang Lectures. Balakrishnan will speak on:

    Rational points on curves: from Diophantus to the present day

    The lectures will take place virtually on Zoom on July 13, 15 and 16. This is sponsored by the Collaborative Research Centre Geometry and Arithmetic of Uniformized Structures​.

  • Virtual conference on Frobenius distributions

    Jun 28 - 29, 2021

    This event has been temporarily canceled.

  • Fourteenth Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium, ANTS-XIV

    Jun 30 - Jul 4, 2020
    University of Auckland, New Zealand

    The ANTS meetings, held biannually since 1994, are the premier international forum for the presentation of new research in computational number theory and its applications. Several members of the Simons Collaboration and affiliated scientists will be attending.

    This event will be held virtually.

  • Workshop on Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory, and Computation

    Jun 1 - 5, 2020
    ICERM

    This program will host 6-8 collaborative groups led by invited project leaders, who will propose guiding research questions in consultation with the organizers.

    This event will be held virtually.

    Apr 3, 2020

    http://mathseminars.org started as a resource for Boston-area number theorists but has grown rapidly into a catalog of virtual seminars around the world. It was developed by Collaboration research scientists Edgar Costa and David Roe, with the guidance of PIs Andrew Sutherland and Bjorn Poonen, all based at MIT. It relies on database infrastructure created for the current version of the L-functions and Modular Forms Database http://www.lmfdb.org.
