Our Introductory Workshop will focus largely on the background, recent work, and current problems regarding:
- Selmer groups and Mordell-Weil groups, and the distribution of their ranks (and "sizes") over families of elliptic curves, including recent work of Manjul Bhargava and Arul Shankar where they have shown that the average size of the (2)-Selmer group of an elliptic curve over (mathbb{Q}) is (3), and thereby obtains information about the average rank of Mordell-Weil groups.
- Related work on the asymptotics of number fields.
- Certain natural families of (L)-functions, and the statistical distribution of their zeros and values.
- Complementary algorithmic methods and experimental results regarding (L)-functions, automorphic forms, elliptic curves and number fields.
- The statistical behavior of eigenvalues of Frobenius elements in Galois representations, and of related trigonometric sums.
