Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Arithmetic statistics over finite fields and function fields ---------------------------------------------------------------- January 27 to January 31, 2014 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center Palo Alto, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/arithstatffield ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the study of statistical questions about objects of arithmetic geometry, especially algebraic varieties over function fields and finite fields. The workshop is organized by Alina Bucur, Chantal David, and Jordan Ellenberg. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/arithstatffield Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than September 27, 2013. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
