Announcements
- The 10th floor classroom is available as a collaborative space. The ICERM conference room is available as a quiet working space, especially for graduate students. To book one of these rooms for an activity, see Danielle Izzi at the front desk.
- ICERM has posted a list of visitors with arrival and departure dates.
- Jeff Hoffstein will be teaching a graduate course this semester that may be of interest to some junior participants. To quote:
Hi Everyone,
I'll be giving what is essentially a second year graduate class in analytic algebraic number theory. It will start this coming Tuesday and will be held, at the moment, from 2:30 - 3:50 on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Kassar 105 in the math dept on the corner of George and Thayer. The class will develop the basic theory of algebraic number fields, and present Hecke's approach to obtaining the analytic continuation and functional equation of the Dedekind zeta function. Please let me know if you might be interested in attending. If there is sufficient interest I will move the class to ICERM.
--Jeff Hoffstein
- There will be an AGNES (Algebraic Geometry Northeastern Series) conference October 2-4, immediately after the first thematic workshop; this includes a public lecture Friday evening by Jordan Ellenberg. Those wishing to attend are asked to register here as soon as possible.
- ICERM is soliciting proposals for their new Collaborate@ICERM program, in which groups of 3-6 gather for focused research. Applications from collaborations originating from semester programs are specially encouraged!
This week schedule
Unless otherwise specified, activities will take place in the 11th floor lecture room.
