MSRI - Arithmetic Geometry

The workshop will focus on the development of explicit and computational methods in arithmetic geometry, as well as the complexity analysis of existing algorithms.

Topics include (but are not necessarily limited to) computational aspects of the following:

determination of rational points on curves and higher dimensional varieties
Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves and other abelian varieties
Selmer and Shafarevich-Tate groups
isogenies, endomorphism rings, and torsion subgroups of abelian varieties
minimal proper regular models of curves
Neron models and conductors of Jacobians
equations for modular curves and Shimura curves
function field analogues of all the above
zeta functions of curves and other varieties over finite fields.
