Description
An ICTP Meeting


Arithmetic geometry is a very active and important research area in modern mathematics. It includes topics of number theory, algebraic geometry, mathematical physics and algebra among others. The purpose of this conference is to gather experts on topics related to arithmetic geometry, in a broad sense, with specific emphasis on problems related to properties of algebraic varieties.

The expositions will cover topics including:
  • central values of L-series (and their connection to Mahler measure of polynomials)
  • new instances of mirror symmetry
  • computations and properties of motives (as introduced by Grothendieck to describe the cohomology essence of a variety)
