"Moments of zeta functions associated to hyperelliptic curves"
I will discuss conjectures, theorems, and experiments concerning the moments of zeta functions associated to hyperelliptic curves over finite fields. This is joint work with Kevin Wu.

"Dichotomy of Conservative CSPs"
This talk is the first of several covering Barto's simpler proof of a dichotomy for conservative templates (originally due to Bulatov). We will first cover the preliminary notions and notations. Then we will show the correctness of the reduction to minimal absorbing subuniverses algorithm.
