Women in Numbers 2
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
held November 6-11, 2011, at the Banff International Research Station
(BIRS) in Banff, Alberta, Canada. During the workshop, group leaders
presented open problems in various areas of number theory, and working
groups tackled those problems in collaborations begun at the workshop
and continuing long after.
This volume collects articles written
by participants of WIN2. Survey papers written by project leaders are
designed to introduce areas of active research in number theory to
advanced graduate students and recent PhDs. Original research articles
by the project groups detail their work on the open problems tackled
during and after WIN2. Other articles in this volume contain new
research on related topics by women number theorists.
The
articles collected here encompass a wide range of topics in number
theory including Galois representations, the Tamagawa number
conjecture, arithmetic intersection formulas, Mahler measures, Newton
polygons, the Dwork family, elliptic curves, cryptography, and
supercongruences.
WIN2 and this Proceedings volume are part of
the Women in Numbers network, aimed at increasing the visibility of
women researchers' contributions to number theory and at increasing
the participation of women mathematicians in number theory and related
fields.
This book is co-published with the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques.
