Our first discussion group special of the term will be by everyone's favourite lecturer, Samir Siksek. In the talk we'll hear about some of the fascinating developments at the forefront of number theory, presented in a fun and accessible manner. Afterwards, there will be food and drinks available in the street along with a chance for some discussion. So come along! Samir provided us with a short description of the talk: Abstract: The generalized Fermat conjecture concerns the equation | ||

In the first half of this discussion group we will hear about elliptic curves with multiplication. These are elliptic curves where the endomorphism ring contains more than just a copy of the integers. The theory is extremely interesting and has a number of deep connections with, amongst other things, questions regarding number fields. The second half will concern the Weil Conjectures. Originally stated and proved for algebraic curves (by Weil himself), the Weil Conjectures offer a wonderful analogy between the geometry of projective varieties over finite fields and various ideas from algebraic topology. Come along to MS.05 to hear Cosmin Davidescu and Sam Derbyshire expound on these topics. After which we will head to the pub. Stay categorical. | ||
in coprime integers 
. This conjecture has been called the "new holy grail of number theory". In this fun talk we shall survey what is known and explore some recent directions.
