Advanced Number Theory
Course content
The goal of this course is to discuss some contemporary topics in number theory, such as automorphic forms and representations and their L-functions which constitute a very active area of research in modern number theory. Their theory generalizes and provides a common framework for classical number theoretic objects such as holomorphic and analytic modular forms, Dirichlet characters and their L-functions. Some connections to arithmetic geometry, spectral theory, or ergodic theory might also be discussed. A good background in analytic or algebraic number theory is recommended.
