Workshop on Serre's Uniform Boundedness Conjecture

May 12 - 13, 2016, The Fields Institute

Location: Fields Institute, Stewart Library

Overview

The joint CRM-Fields 2016 Montreal-Toronto workshop on "Serre's uniform boundedness conjecture" will take place a the Fields Institute on May 12-13, 2016. One of the main goals of the workshop is to foster scientic interaction between the number theory research groups in Montreal and Toronto, and nearby universities in Canada and the United States, at the whole range of seniority, from professors to beginning graduate students. The talks will consist of a mixture of presentations by graduate students presenting the background on Galois representations attached to elliptic curves and the classical work of Serre, of presentations of more specialized material by some faculty members, and of general overview talks about current research
done by members of both number theory groups.
