London Number Theory Seminar

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

This term (Summer 2013), 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 24th April. The talk will be preceded by tea at 3:30 in S5.21.

The seminar will usually be at 4pm (as of 1st May), but there is, exceptionally, two seminars on 24th April, and we're starting at 2:30.

Note: The most up-to-date place for information about what is going on this term (including abstracts) is on Mahesh Kakde's site here.
