Arithmetic Statistics
Apr 11, 2011 to Apr 15, 2011

Organizer(s)

Brian Conrey (American Institute of Mathematics), Barry Mazur (Harvard University), and Michael Rubinstein* (University of Waterloo)
To apply for funding, you must register by Sun, Jan 30 2011.
Our workshop will highlight some work relevant to or carried out during our program at the MSRI, including statistical results about ranks for elliptic curves, zeros of L-functions, curves over finite fields, as well as algorithms for L-functions, point counting, and automorphic forms.
