Workshop Proposal: The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves and Special Values of L-Functions, May 2-4, 2014

研讨会“椭圆曲线的算术和L函数的特殊值”将于2014年5月2日至4日在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥举行。这是UIC年度奥利弗阿特金纪念讲座和研讨会的一部分。讲习班的网址是http://www.math.uic.edu/~rtakloo/atkin2014.html。本次研讨会的主题是L-函数的特殊值及其在椭圆曲线算术中的应用的最新进展。特别是Birch和Swinnerton-Dyer猜想，Gross-Zagier-Zhang公式，岩泽理论的主要猜想等。研讨会将汇集该领域的专家，并将创造一个环境，让参与者可以交流想法并开始新的项目。和其他没有旅费的数学家参加这个令人兴奋的研讨会。这是一个极好的机会，让他们与该领域的专家互动，并受到启发，进一步开展工作。邀请演讲者的演讲将于5月3日和4日举行，时间也预留给参加最近的博士演讲。获奖者和研究生。选定的讲座将录像，并提供给数学界的网站。讲座的幻灯片将在同一网站上提供。

A workshop "Arithmetic of elliptic curves and special values of L-functions" will take place May 2-4, 2014 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. This is part of the annual Oliver Atkin Memorial Lecture and Workshop at UIC. The website of the workshop is http://www.math.uic.edu/~rtakloo/atkin2014.html. The theme of the workshop is the recent progress regarding special values of L-functions and its applications to the arithmetic of elliptic curves. Of particular interest will be the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, Gross-Zagier-Zhang formulae, Main Conjecture of Iwasawa Theory, etc. The workshop will bring together experts working in the area and will create an environment in which participants may exchange ideas and start new projects.Funding from the National Science Foundation makes it possible for junior researchers, graduate students, and other mathematicians without travel funds to attend this exciting workshop. This is an excellent opportunity for them to interact with experts in the field and to be inspired for further work. The lectures by invited speakers will take place on May 3 and 4, and time is also reserved for talks by participating recent Ph.D. recipients and graduate students. Select lectures will be videotaped and made available to the mathematical community on a website. The slides of talks will be made available on the same website.
