OVERVIEW
The workshop will be centered around topics in arithmetic geometry, particularly topics that are linked to diophantine approximation and Arakelov theory:

  • Arakelov theory, including p-adic and "infinity-adic"
  • Generalized rings and schemes
  • Arithmetic of higher dimensional algebraic varieties
  • Arc spaces and related problems
  • Arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem and applications
  • Polylogarithms, regulators, and Arakelov motivic complexe

Apply to the Program:
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community. Visitors who are interested in office space or funding are requested to apply by filling out the application form . Additional support is available (pending NSF funding) to support junior US visitors to this program. Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities. Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge the community, and to encourage the participation of women and members of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.
