A Primer to Arithmetic Statistics
Stanley Yao Xiao (University of Northern British Columbia)Jan 6, 2025 — Apr 4, 2025
About the course
In the past 25 years or so, the subject of “Arithmetic Statistics”, beginning with the work of Bhargava’s success in enumerating rings and fields of low degree and rank, and Bhargava and Shankar’s proof of the boundedness of algebraic rank of elliptic curves, is an enormously exciting subject. We will give an introduction to the subject centred on the work of Bhargava and his coworkers.
