Number Theory Seminar: Ranks of elliptic curves over function fields

  • Date: 11/26/2009
Lecturer(s):
Jay Heumann (UBC)
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Description: 

This talk is based on a series of five lectures given by Doug Ulmer at
the Park City Mathematics Institute in 2009. I will present Ulmer's
proof that elliptic curves over function fields can have arbitrarily
high Mordell-Weil rank.

Schedule: 

4:10pm-5:00pm, WMAX 110

Other Information: 

preceded by refreshments at 3:50pm
