LMFDB workshop announced
From March 23-27 the UCD School of Mathematical Sciences will host a mini workshop on genus two curves, which is a part of the "L-functions and Modular Forms" research project sponsored by EPSRC.
L-functions and modular forms are the keys to understanding so many interrelated problems in number theory. Understanding them, together with their higher-degree analogues, is a primary challenge of 21st-century mathematics which opens up future prospects of enhanced applications. Moreover, they provide a global structure which links together much of mathematics and other areas, so that understanding their inner workings and their relationships to other objects provides a framework for new mathematics. One of the goals of the project is to create a public database of L-functions, modularforms, elliptic curves, Galois representations and related objects.
