London Number Theory Seminar


The London Number Theory Seminar is held weekly during term times. The site rotates between KCL, Imperial College and UCL.

Note that the visits of both Werner Mueller and David Savitt, and also the London--Paris number theory seminar, are all supported by generous funding from the London Mathematical Society, for which we are very grateful.

This term (Summer 2012), the seminar will be hosted by Kings College, and will be held on Wednesdays from 4 pm to 5 pm in room S4.23 of the Department of Mathematics, starting on 25th April. The talk will be preceded by tea at 3:30 in S5.21.

25 April: Werner Mueller, Bonn
"Applications of the trace formula to spectral theory of automorphic forms."

2 May: Stefano Vigni, King's
"Darmon points on Shimura curves and abelian varieties"

9 May: David Savitt, Arizona
"The Buzzard-Diamond-Jarvis conjecture for unitary groups"

16 May: Riccardo Brasca, Milan
"p-adic modular forms of non-integral weight over Shimura curves"

23 May: Konstantin Ardakov, QMUL
"Quillen's Lemma for affinoid enveloping algebras"

30 May: London-Paris Number Theory Seminar. Speakers: Joel Rivat (Luminy), Gerald Tenenbaum (Nancy), Adam Harper (Cambridge).

6 June: Jens Marklof, Bristol

13 June: William Conley, UEA

20 June: Alex Paulin, Nottingham

The seminar is preceded by the Study Groups which this term are on unitary Shimura varieties and on Kisin modules.

There are two mailing lists for number theory in London:
