RTG: Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry

Grant Information: DMS-1646385 , start month: July 2017

co-PIs: Martin Olsson (main), Sug Woo Shin, Xinyi Yuan (ex)

Purpose: We will establish a number of activities involving researchers at all career stages ranging from undergraduates to senior faculty. The guiding aim is to create a research group based approach to the training of students and postdocs, enabling them to take full advantage of the wide expertise and experience of each other and the senior faculty, and to provide access for undergraduates to the research of the group and to mentor students planning to pursue related advanced degrees. The RTG will provide a unifying structure for the development of researchers and to foster collaborations. Activities of the RTG include research workshops, new research seminars, undergraduate conferences, and undergraduate mentoring.

Activities:

• Research and learning seminars

• Annual weeklong RTG workshops (typically early May)

• Biennial 2-day undergraduate conferences

• Mentoring and social activities
