Rational Points and Galois Representations

An online workshop hosted by the University of Pittsburgh

May 10-12, 2021

This three-day workshop brought together mathematicians with interest in rational points on algebraic curves, Galois representations, and related topics. Due to Covid-19, it occurred online via Zoom. This website records some of the workshop activities.

The Program

We are delighted to feature a colloquium presentation by Prof. Kirsten Wickelgren, seven research talks, one coding and database demo session, and one problem discussion session moderated by Prof. David Zureick-Brown. There will also be simultaneous chat sessions hosted on the Discord platform, with chat access information distributed to registered participants.
