Elliptic Curves and L-functions

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research program is in the field of number theory, which is the part of mathematics that deals with properties of integers and solutions of equations with integer coefficients. Such equations are called Diophantine equations. Elliptic curves are one of the fundamental objects of study in the theory of Diophantine equations. The study of elliptic curves is amenable to methods from algebra, analysis, and geometry. Over the past decade, I have studied several problems in this area from an analytic point of view and by employing L-functions which are fundamental tools in analytic number theory.
