    Several members of the collaboration, including PIs Jennifer Balakrishnan and Andrew Sutherland, and research scientists Eran Assaf, Edgar Costa, David Lowry-Duda, and David Roe, are beginning a push to develop a database of modular curves, their geometric invariants and rational points.

  • Infrastructure Week: Hilbert Modular Forms at Dartmouth

    Feb 21 - 25, 2022
    Dartmouth, NH

    Collaboration PI John Voight is leading a focus week on Hilbert Modular Forms, emphasizing computational techniques and databases.

  • 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. Note: This was abbreviated to a virtual session due to the Omicron surge.

  • 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

    Collaboration research scientist Francesc Fité (MIT) and Alina Carmen Cojocaru (UIC) are organizing Around Frobenius Distributions and Related Topics II. PIs Bjorn Poonen and Andrew V. Sutherland will speak at the meeting.

  • Costa kicks off seminar series on K3 surfaces

    Jan 26, 2021

    Collaboration research scientist Edgar Costa will be the first speaker in a seminar series on K3 surfaces, hosted by the VaNTAGe math network. The talks will be accessible to graduate students with some background in number theory and algebraic geometry.

  • Poonen gives public lecture at Simons Foundation

    Jan 13, 2021

    Collaboration PI Bjorn Poonen will speak on Tetrahedra: From Aristotle’s Mistake to Unsolved Problems at the Simons Foundation. Registration is open to the public.

  • Park City Mathematics Institute: Number Theory Informed by Computation
