Workshop concludes

 

This year, 1999 - 2000, the School of Mathematics of the Institute for Advanced Study had a special program on automorphic forms and L-functions with emphasis on analytic methods. Moreover, other aspects of classical and modern number theory, such as equidistribution, exponential and character sums over varieties and elliptic curves were also part of our focus.

Stimulated by the currect activity and in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute, we concluded the program with a workshop on Recent Trends in Analytic Number Theory held at the Insitute during April 12 - 15, 2000.

The main objective of this workshop was to present the best (old and new) achievements in the described subjects, as well as to expand interactions between various specialists.
