A co-publication of the AMS and Fields Institute
This volume is a collection of papers on
number theory which evolved out of the workshop WIN—Women In
Numbers, held November 2–7, 2008, at the Banff
International Research Station (BIRS) in Banff, Alberta, Canada. It
includes articles showcasing outcomes from collaborative research
initiated during the workshop as well as survey papers aimed at
introducing graduate students and recent PhDs to important research
topics in number theory.
The contributions in this volume span a wide range of topics in
arithmetic geometry and algebraic, algorithmic, and analytic number
theory. Clusters of papers center around the four topics of moduli
spaces and Shimura curves, curves and Jacobians over finite fields,
Galois covers of function fields in positive characteristic, and zeta
functions of graphs, with a fifth group of three individual articles
on modular forms, Iwasawa theory, and Galois representations,
respectively.
The workshop and this volume are part of a broader WIN initiative,
whose goals are to highlight and increase the research activities of
women in number theory and to train female graduate students in
number theory and related fields.
Titles in this series are co-published with the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).
Readership
