The workshop will be centered around the topics in hyperbolic geometry, particularly topics that are linked to diophantine approximations:

  • Problems related to complex hyperbolicity,
  • Jets, multiplier ideal sheaves and applications,
  • Diophantine approximations over function fields,
  • Correspondence between hyperbolic geometry and diophantine approximation,
  • Nevanlinna theory and distributions of zeros.

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.
