Conferences  >  Mathematics  >  Number Theory, Arithmetic  >  Canada

Chantal David has made important and original contributions to our understanding of arithmetic, in topics such as elliptic curves, abelian varieties, families of curves over finite fields and zeroes of L-functions. There are many facets to her work, which involves arithmetic statistics, analytic number theory, and random matrix theory. By her roles as a leader and a mentor, Chantal David has been a leading inspiration for progress in analytic number theory in Canada. The aim of this meeting is to focus on current hot topics in analytic number theory, celebrating her contributions to the field, and her importance in our community.

In 1998, number theorists at Université Laval and the University of Maine founded the Maine/Québec Conference on Number Theory and Related Topics. Since then it has been held annually on a weekend in early Fall (except 2001, when the conference was cancelled due to the attacks that September). We invite number theorists and mathematicians in related areas from New England, eastern Canada, and beyond to speak about their research and discuss ideas for future work. Each year there is a change in venue: odd years at UMaine, even years at U. Laval.
