Lethbridge Number Theory and Combinatorics Seminar: Shabnam Akhtari (Online)
Topic
How to count (cubic and quartic) binary forms
Speakers
Details
In order to study interesting arithmetic, algebraic, analytic and geometric properties of binary forms, we often need a way to order them. I will discuss some natural ways to order binary forms F(x , y) with integer coefficients, especially those of degree 3 and 4. I will show some of my recent works as examples of the importance of understanding the invariant theory of integral binary forms in order to count these important arithmetic objects.
