Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic whose structural techniques have proven to be remarkably useful in arithmetic geometry and number theory. We will introduce in this workshop some of the main themes of the programme covering such topics as Additive Combinatorics, Algebraic Dynamics, Berkovich Spaces, and the Pink-Zilber Conjectures.
Tutorials will be given by both model theorists and experts in the relevant field of application. The workshop will also include "state of the art" lectures on the programme topics, indicating recent results as well as directions for future work.
The introductory workshop aims to familiarize graduate students, postdocs, and non-experts to major and new topics of the current program. Though the audience is expected to have a general mathematical background, knowledge of technical terminology and recent findings is not assumed.
Show Funding
To apply for funding, you must register by the funding application deadline displayed above.
Students, recent Ph.D.'s, women, and members of underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Funding awards are typically made 6 weeks before the workshop begins. Requests received after the funding deadline are considered only if additional funds become available.
