Analytic Methods in Arithmetic Geometry
Share this pageEdited by Alina Bucur; David Zureick-Brown
A co-publication of the AMS and Centre de Recherches Mathématiques
This volume contains the proceedings of the Arizona Winter School
2016, which was held from March 12–16, 2016, at The University of
Arizona, Tucson, AZ.
In the last decade or so, analytic methods have had great success
in answering questions in arithmetic geometry and number theory. The
School provided a unique opportunity to introduce graduate students to
analytic methods in arithmetic geometry.
The book contains four articles. Alina C. Cojocaru's article
introduces sieving techniques to study the group structure of points
of the reduction of an elliptic curve modulo a rational prime via its
division fields. Harald A. Helfgott's article provides an introduction
to the study of growth in groups of Lie type, with
\(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q)\) and some of its subgroups as the key
examples. The article by Étienne Fouvry, Emmanuel Kowalski, Philippe
Michel, and Will Sawin describes how a systematic use of the deep
methods from \(\ell\)-adic cohomology pioneered by Grothendieck and
Deligne and further developed by Katz and Laumon help make progress on
various classical questions from analytic number theory. The last
article, by Andrew V. Sutherland, introduces Sato-Tate groups and
explores their relationship with Galois representations, motivic
\(L\)-functions, and Mumford-Tate groups.
Readership
