Algebra-Number Theoryhttp://www-math.umd.edu/research/seminars.html Introduction to Abstract Class Field Theory http://www-math.umd.edu/research/seminars.html Tue, 21 Oct 2025 15:30:00 EDT Where: Kirwan Hall 1308
Speaker: Wyatt Millstone (UMD) -
Abstract: Class field theory is the study of the abelian Galois extensions of local
and global fields, and can be used to define Galois extensions whose Galois
groups encode information about the failure of unique factorization in a
number field.

Speaker: Bilal Aytekin (UMD) -
Abstract: This talk provides an introduction to the arithmetic of hyperelliptic curves over finite fields and their associated zeta functions, focusing on efficient algorithmic approaches for computing the number of rational points on these curves over extensions of the base field.
