Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry Research Group
Our Research
Both algebraic and arithmetic geometry are concerned with the study of solution sets of systems of polynomial equations. Algebraic geometry deals primarily with solutions lying in an algebraically closed field, while arithmetic geometry deals with the more subtle study of solutions lying in a number field or its rings of integers. Both these topics are central to mathematics— and connect to subjects ranging from Number Theory and cryptography to mirror symmetry. Our individual research interests at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV cover a broad spectrum, including toric geometry, linear subspaces of varieties, modular curves, and rational points on hyperelliptic curves.
The algebraic and arithmetic geometry group runs a regularly meeting research seminar. For more information, see link here...
