KIAS Number Theory Seminar



From class numbers to elliptic curves

Park, Jeongho ( POSTECH)

May 25 (Fri.) 2012, 5:00-6:00pm, Room 1424 (Friday! NOT Thursday!)

Abstract: The distribution of class numbers of real quadratic fields will be discussed in an analtic point of view. Some of convincing conjectures on it and the behavior of fundamental units will lead us to stride over continued fractions and modular arithmetic, where a family of elliptic curves appears.


For the number theory seminars we usually meet at Room 1423 or 1424 at 5pm on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays in each month. Please check the tentative schedule of upcoming seminars.

Please send the organizer an email if you are interested in giving a talk. If you want to receive regular email announcements of the schedule, please send an email wtih your name/affiliation, in title of "subscribe", to the organizer.
