DESCRIPTION:Title: Th
e Mumford—Tate conjecture implies the algebraic Sato—Tate conjecture
a>\nby Victoria Cantoral as part of POINT: New Developments in Number Theo
ry\n\n\nAbstract\nThe famous Mumford-Tate conjecture asserts that\, for ev
ery prime number $\\ell$\, Hodge cycles are $\\mathbb{Q}_{\\ell}$-linear c
ombinations of Tate cycles\, through Artin's comparisons theorems between
Betti and étale cohomology. The algebraic Sato-Tate conjecture\, introduc
ed by Serre and developed later by Banaszak and Kedlaya\, is a powerful to
ol in order to prove new instances of the generalized Sato-Tate conjecture
. This previous conjecture is related with the equidistribution of Frobeni
us traces.\n\nOur main goal is to prove that the Mumford-Tate conjecture f
or an abelian variety A implies the algebraic Sato-Tate conjecture for A.
The relevance of this result lies mainly in the fact that the list of know
n cases of the Mumford-Tate conjecture was up to now a lot longer than the
list of known cases of the algebraic Sato-Tate conjecture. This is a join
t work with Johan Commelin.\n\nIf you like to attend the talk\, please reg

DESCRIPTION:Title: St
atistics of Automorphic Representations through Simplified Trace Formulas<
/a>\nby Rahul Dalal as part of POINT: New Developments in Number Theory\n\
n\nAbstract\nAutomorphic representations encode information about a broad
range of interesting mathematical objects. They are very difficult to stud
y individually so it is often good to study them in families instead. The
Arthur-Selberg trace formula is a powerful tool for this. For certain very
nice families (discrete series at infinity)\, the invariant and stable ve
rsions of the trace formula take on a simpler form\, allowing us to much m
ore easily prove distributional results. I will discuss some of these resu
lts and the techniques used for the required trace formula computations.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Su
persingular representations of p-adic reductive groups.\nby Karol Kozi
ol (University of Michigan) as part of POINT: New Developments in Number T
heory\n\n\nAbstract\nThe representation theory of p-adic reductive groups
plays an extremely important role in modern number theory. Namely\, the l
ocal Langlands conjectures predict that (packets of) irreducible complex r
epresentations of p-adic reductive groups (such as $\\mathrm{GL}_n(\\mathb
b{Q}_p)$\, $\\mathrm{GSp}_{2n}(\\mathbb{Q}_p)$\, etc.) should be parametri
zed by certain representations of the Weil-Deligne group (a variant of the
usual absolute Galois group). A special role in this hypothetical corres
pondence is held by the supercuspidal representations\, which generically
are expected to correspond to irreducible objects on the Galois side\, and
which serve as building blocks for all irreducible representations. Moti
vated by recent advances in the mod-$p$ local Langlands program (i.e.\, wi
th mod-$p$ coefficients instead of complex coefficients)\, I will give an
overview of what is known about supersingular representations of $p$-adic
reductive groups\, which are the "mod-$p$ coefficients" analogs of supercu
spidal representations. This is joint work with Florian Herzig and Marie-
France Vigneras.\n\nPlease register for the talks on August 24 here: \nhtt

POINT: New Developments in Number Theory\n\n\nAbstract\nAn isogeny graph
is a nice visualization of the isogeny class of an elliptic curve. A theor

rational elliptic curve can have (in particular\, every isogeny graph has
at most 8 vertices). In this talk\, we give a complete classification of t

ract\nGiven an extension L/K of number fields\, we say that the Hasse norm
principle (HNP) holds if every non-zero element of K which is a norm ever
ywhere locally is in fact a global norm from L. If L/K is cyclic\, the ori
ginal Hasse norm theorem states that the HNP holds. More generally\, there
is a cohomological description (due to Tate) of the obstruction to the HN
P for Galois extensions. In this talk\, I will present work developing exp
licit methods to study this principle for non-Galois extensions as well as
some key applications in extensions whose normal closure has Galois group
A_n or S_n. I will additionally discuss the geometric interpretation of t
his concept and how it relates to the weak approximation property for norm
varieties. If time permits\, I will also present some recent developments
on the statistics of the HNP\n

ic Diophantine problem. Using the units of the associated coefficient ring
\, we can produce sequences of solutions to these equations. It turns out
that these solutions can be written as tuples of linear homogeneous recurr

Seoyoung Kim (Queen's University) as part of POINT: New Developments in N
umber Theory\n\n\nAbstract\nLet $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\\mathbb{Q}
$ with discriminant\, and let $a_p$ be the Frobenius trace for each prime
p. In 1965\, Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer formulated a conjecture which impli
es\n\n$\\lim\\limits_{x \\rightarrow \\infty} \\frac{1}{\\log x} \\sum_{p<
x} \\frac{a_p\\log p}{p}=-r+\\frac{1}{2}\,$\n\nwhere $r$ is the order of
the zero of the $L$-function of $E$ at $s=1$\, which is predicted to be th
e Mordell-Weil rank of $E(\\mathbb{Q})$. We show that if the above limit e
xits\, then the limit equals $-r+\\frac{1}{2}$\, and study the connections
to Riemann hypothesis for $E$. We also relate this to Nagao's conjecture.

ensity of rational points on a family of del Pezzo surface of degree 1
\nby Julie Desjardins (University of Toronto Mississauga) as part of POINT
: New Developments in Number Theory\n\n\nAbstract\nLet $k$ be a number fie
ld and $X$ an algebraic variety over $k$. We want to study the set of $k$-
rational points $X(k)$. For example\, is $X(k)$ empty? If not\, is it dens
e with respect to the Zariski topology? Del Pezzo surfaces are classified
by their degrees $d$ (an integer between 1 and 9). Manin and various autho
rs proved that for all del Pezzo surfaces of degree $d>1$\, $X(k)$ is dens
e provided that the surface has a $k$-rational point (that lies outside a
specific subset of the surface for $d=2$). For $d=1$\, the del Pezzo surfa
ce always has a rational point. However\, we don't know if the set of rati
onal points is Zariski-dense. In this talk\, I present a result that is jo
int with Rosa Winter in which we prove the density of rational points for
a specific family of del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 over $k$.\n

ahler Measure and its behavior under iteration\nby Mingming Zhang (Okl

y\n\n\nAbstract\nFor an algebraic number $\\alpha$ we denote by $M(\\alpha
)$ the Mahler measure of $\\alpha$. As $M(\\alpha)$ is again an algebraic
number (indeed\, an algebraic integer)\, $M(\\cdot)$ is a self-map on $\\o
verline{\\mathbb{Q}}$\, and therefore defines a dynamical system. The $\\m
athit{orbit}$ $\\mathit{size}$ of $\\alpha$\, denoted $\\# \\mathcal{O}_M(
\\alpha)$\, is the cardinality of the forward orbit of $\\alpha$ under $M$
. In this talk\, we will start by introducing the definition of Mahler mea
sure\, briefly discuss results on the orbit sizes of algebraic numbers wi
th degree at least 3 and non-unit norm\, then we will turn our focus to th
e behavior of algebraic units\, which are of interest in Lehmer's problem.
We will mention the results regarding algebraic units of degree 4 and dis
cuss that if $\\alpha$ is an algebraic unit of degree $d\\geq 5$ such that
the Galois group of the Galois closure of $\\mathbb{Q}(\\alpha)$ contains
$A_d$\, then the orbit size must be 1\, 2 or $\\infty$. Furthermore\, we
will show that there exists units with orbit size larger than 2! This is j

Abstract\nThe large sieve inequality is of fundamental importance in analy

least quadratic non-residue modulo primes on average. These days\, there
is a whole zoo of large sieve inequalities in all kind of contexts (for nu
mber fields\, function fields\, automorphic forms\, etc.). The large sieve
with restricted sets of moduli $q \\in \\mathbb{Z}$\, in particular with
square moduli\, were investigated by L. Zhao and S. Baier. Moreover\, the
large sieve with square moduli has found many applications\, in particular
\, in questions regarding elliptic curves. The large sieve for additive ch
aracters was extended to number fields by Huxley. In my talk\, I will give
a summary of the classical large sieve with square moduli and present new

DESCRIPTION:Title: I
nvariants in Towers of Curves over Finite Fields\nby Jeremy Booher (Un
iversity of Canterbury) as part of POINT: New Developments in Number Theor
y\n\n\nAbstract\nA $Z_p$ tower of curves in characteristic $p$ is a sequen
ce $C_0\, C_1\, C_2\, ...$ of smooth projective curves over a perfect fiel
d of characteristic $p$ such that $C_n$ is a branched cover of $C_{n-1}$ a
nd $C_n$ is a branched Galois $Z/(p^n)$-cover of $C_0$. For nice examples
of $Z_p$ towers\, the growth of the genus is stable: for sufficiently lar
ge $n$\, the genus of $C_n$ is a quadratic polynomial in $p^n$. In charac
teristic $p$\, there are additional curve invariants like the a-number whi
ch are poorly understood. They describe the group-scheme structure of the
$p$-torsion of the Jacobian. I will discuss work in progress with Bryden
Cais studying these invariants and suggesting that their growth is also s
table in genus stable $Z_p$ towers. This is a new kind of Iwasawa theory
for function fields.\n\nTo join the talks on January 19th\, please registe

DESCRIPTION:Title: S
elmer groups of some families of genus 3 curves and abelian surfaces\n
by Jef Laga (University of Cambridge) as part of POINT: New Developments i
n Number Theory\n\n\nAbstract\nManjul Bhargava and Arul Shankar have deter
mined the average size of the $n$-Selmer group of the family of all ellipt
ic curves over $\\mathbb{Q}$ ordered by height\, for $n$ at most $5$. In t
his talk we will consider a family of nonhyperelliptic genus $3$ curves\,
and bound the average size of the $2$-Selmer group of their Jacobians. Thi
s implies that a majority of curves in this family have relatively few rat
ional points. We also consider a family of abelian surfaces which are not
principally polarized and obtain similar results. The proof is a combinati
on of the theory of simple singularities\, graded Lie algebras and orbit-c
ounting techniques.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: A
n exponential bound for exponential diffsequences\nby Alexander Clifto
n (Emory University) as part of POINT: New Developments in Number Theory\n
\n\nAbstract\nA theorem of van der Waerden states that for any positive in
teger $r$\, if you partition $\\mathbf{N}$ into $r$ disjoint subsets\, the
n one of them will contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. It is
natural to ask what other arithmetic structures are preserved when partit
ioning $\\mathbf{N}$ into a finite number of disjoint sets and to pose qua
ntitative questions about these. We consider $D$-diffsequences\, introduce
d by Landman and Robertson\, which are increasing sequences in which the c
onsecutive differences all lie in some given set $D$. Here\, we consider t
he case where $D$ consists of all powers of $2$ and define $f(k)$ to be th
e smallest $n$ such that partitioning $\\{1\,2\,\\cdots\,n\\}$ into $2$ su
bsets guarantees the presence of a $D$-diffsequence of length $k$ containe
d entirely within one subset. We establish that $f(k)$ grows exponentially

act\nMoonshine began as a series of numerical coincidences connecting fini

heds light on the underlying structures that these coincidences reflect.\n
\n\nWe prove the existence of one such structure\, a module for the Thomps

lomorphic modular forms. We then proceed to use this module to study the r

as an example of moonshine being used to answer questions in number theory

has everywhere good reduction in some finite extension $L/K$. This motiva

n counting cuspidal automorphic representations of GSp(4)\nby Shaoyun
Yi (University of South Carolina) as part of POINT: New Developments in Nu
mber Theory\n\n\nAbstract\nThere are some well-known classical equidistrib
ution results like Sato-Tate conjecture for elliptic curves and equidistri
bution of Hecke eigenvalues of elliptic cusp forms. In this talk\, we will
discuss a similar equidistribution result for a family of cuspidal automo
rphic representations for GSp(4). We formulate our theorem explicitly in t
erms of the number of cuspidal automorphic representations for GSp(4) with
certain conditions at the local places. To count the number of these cusp
idal automorphic representations\, we will explore the connection between
Siegel cusp forms of degree 2 and cuspidal automorphic representations of
GSp(4). This is a joint work with Manami Roy and Ralf Schmidt.\n

of small degree\, so that they are rational elliptic surfaces. In joint wo
rk with Sandro Bettin and Christophe Delaunay\, we apply Nagao's formula i
n order to detect the value of their ranks: this approach is orthogonal to
other geometric investigations\, and gives the values of the ranks by loo
king at purely algebraic properties like the factorization of some integer
polynomials. We also prove that\, whenever restricting to some specific f

tract\nThe Binary Goldbach and Twin Prime conjectures have shaped the deve
lopment of Analytic Number Theory in the the last century in fundamental m
anner. Among the strongest approximative results that we know are a power
saving bound on the exceptional set of the first conjecture\, proved by Mo
ntgomery and Vaughan\, and Chen’s result on almost Twin Primes. \n\nIn t
his talk I present joint work with J. Teräväinen that aims to combine th
e two just mentioned results. More precisely\, we show a power saving exce
ptional set bound for sums of two primes $p_1\, p_2$ such that $p_1+2$ has
at most 2\, $p_2+2$ at most 3 prime divisors. This improves previous resu
lts of this type in both strength of saving and number of prime divisors o
f the shifted primes. Our proof uses a wide range of techniques. I will gi
