 unting rationals and diophantine approximation on fractals</a>\nby Sam Cho
 w (University of Warwick) as part of Number theory by the sea\n\n\nAbstrac
 t\nWe discuss the problem of counting rationals on fractals\, with\napplic
 ations to diophantine approximation. In the process\, we develop the\ntheo
 ry of the Fourier $\\ell^1$ dimension including\, for Bernoulli\nmeasures\
 , its effective computation via induction on scales. Joint with\nDemi Alle

 imitive rational points on expanding horospheres: effective joint equidist
 ribution</a>\nby Daniel El-Baz (TU Graz) as part of Number theory by the s
 ea\n\n\nAbstract\nI will report on ongoing work with Min Lee and Andreas\n
 Strömbergsson. Using techniques from analytic number theory\, spectral\nt
 heory\, geometry of numbers as well as a healthy dose of linear algebra\na
 nd building on a previous work by Bingrong Huang\, Min Lee and myself\, we
 \nfurnish a new proof of a 2016 theorem by Einsiedler\, Mozes\, Shah and\n
 Shapira. That theorem concerns the equidistribution of primitive rational\
 npoints on certain manifolds and our proof has the added benefit of\nyield
 ing a rate of convergence. It turns out to have (perhaps surprising)\nappl
 ications to the theory of random graphs\, which I shall also discuss.\n

 up-norms and fourth moment of automorphic forms</a>\nby Raphael Steiner (E
 TH Zurich) as part of Number theory by the sea\n\n\nAbstract\nThe study of
  sup-norms of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian is a classical problem in ha
 rmonic analysis. In an arithmetic setting\, they find further applications
  to L-functions and geometric questions of the underlying spaces\, such as
  Diophantine approximation and diameters. We discuss how they have been st
 udied in the past and how a new approach allows one to study a higher (fou
 rth) moment. In joint work with Ilya Khayutin and Paul Nelson\, we focus o
 n the volume aspect and improve upon prior work by Templier\, Harcos-Templ
 ier\, Blomer-Michel\, Toma.\n

 eneral Rankin-Selberg problem</a>\nby Kummari Mallesham (ISI Kolkata) as p
 art of Number theory by the sea\n\n\nAbstract\nIn analytic number theory\,
  it is a very fundamental question\nto understand the average order of an 
 arithmetic function $a(n)$. In this talk\, we discuss bounds for the avera
 ge order when the $a(n)$'s\nare given by coefficients of Rankin-Selberg L-
 functions of holomorphic cusp forms\n$f$ and $g$. The content of the talk 
 is based on ongoing work with Aritra\nGhosh\, Ritabrata Munshi and Saurabh
  Kumar Singh.\n

 lmost optimal Diophantine exponent for $\\mathrm{SL}(n)$</a>\nby Subhajit 
 Jana (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics Bonn) as part of Number theory 
 by the sea\n\n\nAbstract\nWe will start by describing the density of $\\ma
 thrm{SL}_n(\\mathbb{Z}[1/p])$ in $\\mathrm{SL}_n(\\mathbb{R})$ in a quanti
 tative manner along the line of work by Ghosh--Gorodnik--Nevo. The Diophan
 tine exponent $\\kappa$ for a pair of elements $x\,y \\in\n\\mathrm{SL}_n(
 \\mathbb{R})$ is a certain positive real number that\, loosely\, measures 
 the complexity of an element $\\gamma\\in\\mathrm{SL}_n(\\mathbb{Z}[1/p])$
  such that $\\gamma x$ approximates $y$ with a prescribed error. Ghosh--Go
 rodnik--Nevo\nconjectured that $\\kappa$ should be optimal\, which means $
 \\kappa \\le 1$ (after certain normalization)\, and proved this on certain
 \nvarieties. However\, for $\\mathrm{SL}(n)$ their method gives $\\kappa \
 \le n-1$. In this talk\, we try to describe how certain automorphic\ntechn
 iques can improve the bound of $\\kappa$ to something as\ngood as $1+O(1/n
 )$. If time permits\, we will also talk about the $L^2$-growth of the Eise
 nstein series on reductive groups. This is one of the inputs in our proof 
 towards improved Diophantine exponent. This is a joint work with Amitay Ka
 mber.\n

 ensity of rational points near/on compact manifolds with certain curvature
  conditions</a>\nby Damaris Schindler (University of Göttingen) as part o
 f Number theory by the sea\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk I will discuss join
 t work with Shuntaro Yamagishi where we\nestablish an asymptotic formula f
 or the number of rational points\, with bounded\ndenominators\, within a g
 iven distance to a compact submanifold M of R^n with a\ncertain curvature 
 condition. Technically we build on work of Huang on the density of\nration
 al points near hypersurfaces. One of our goals is to explore generalisatio
 ns\nto higher codimension. In particular we show that assuming certain cur
 vature\nconditions in codimension at least two\, leads to upper bounds for
  the number of\nrational points on M which are even stronger than what wou
 ld be predicted by the\nanalogue of Serre's dimension growth conjecture.\n

 dditive equations over lattice points on spheres</a>\nby Akshat Mudgal (Un
 iversity of Oxford) as part of Number theory by the sea\n\n\nAbstract\nIn 
 this talk\, we will consider additive properties of lattice points on\nsph
 eres. Thus\, defining $S_m$ to be the set of lattice points on the sphere 
 $x^2 + y^2\n+ z^2 + w^2 = m$\, we are interested in counting the number of
  solutions to the\nequation $a_1 + a_2 = a_3 + a_4\,$ where $a_1\, ...\, a
 _4$ lie in some arbitrary subset $A$ of $S_m$. Such an inquiry is closely 
 related to various problems in harmonic analysis and analytic number theor
 y\, including Bourgain's discrete restriction conjecture for spheres. We w
 ill survey some recent results in this direction\, as well as describe som
 e of the various\ntechniques\, arising from areas such as incidence geomet
 ry\, analytic number theory\nand arithmetic combinatorics\, that have been
  employed to tackle this type of\nproblem.\n

 nteger matrices with a given characteristic polynomial and multiplicative 
 dependence of matrices</a>\nby Alina Ostafe (The University of New South W
 ales) as part of Number theory by the sea\n\n\nAbstract\nWe consider the s
 et $\\mathcal{M}_n(\\mathbb{Z}\; H))$ of $n\\times n$-matrices with\ninteg
 er elements of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the n
 umber\nof $s$-tuples\nof matrices from $\\mathcal{M}_n(\\mathbb{Z}\; H)$\,
  satisfying various multiplicative\nrelations\, including\nmultiplicative 
 dependence\, commutativity and\nbounded generation of a subgroup of $\\mat
 hrm{GL}_n(\\mathbb{Q})$. These problems\ngeneralise those studied\nin the 
 scalar case $n=1$ by F. Pappalardi\, M. Sha\, I. E. Shparlinski and C. L.\
 nStewart (2018) with an\nobvious distinction due to the non-commutativity 
 of matrices.\nAs a part of our method\, we obtain a new upper bound on the
  number of matrices from\n$\\mathcal{M}_n(\\mathbb{Z}\; H)$\nwith a given 
 characteristic polynomial $f \\in\\mathbb{Z}[X]$\, which is uniform with\n
 respect to $f$. This complements\nthe asymptotic formula of A. Eskin\, S. 
 Mozes and N. Shah (1996) in which $f$ has to\nbe fixed and irreducible.\n\
