DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/UCLA_NTS/19/
 ">Calabi-Yau varieties and Shimura varieties</a>\nby Josh Lam (Harvard) as
  part of UCLA Number Theory Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nCalabi-Yau (CY) varieti
 es are certain special varieties which have been the subject of intense st
 udies by algebraic geometers in the last few decades. I will try to explai
 n some arithmetic properties of these varieties\; more specifically\, I wi
 ll discuss two results on the Attractor Conjecture which was formulated by
  Greg Moore in 1998. Throughout I will emphasize the difference between CY
 s with and without Shimura moduli. Time permitting\, I will discuss what o
 ne can (conjecturally!) expect from CYs with and without Shimura moduli. I
  will not assume familiarity with CYs or Shimura varieties.\n
