Number Theory seminar

Hector Pasten, Queen’s University

“Modular forms, ABC and effective unit equation”

In this talk I will give a brief overview of a known approach to the ABC conjecture using modular forms. Then I will explain how this approach actually gives a partial result for the ABC conjecture and Szpiro’s conjecture. As a consequence, we will obtain a new effective proof of the finiteness of solutions to the S-unit equation, which does not involve linear forms in logarithms. This is joint work with Ram Murty.

PhD thesis defence seminar

Michael Ka Shing Ng, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Some aspects of Cantor sets"

For every positive, decreasing, summable sequence $a = (a_i)$, we can
construct a Cantor set $C_a$ associated with $a$. These Cantor sets
are not necessarily self-similar. Their dimensional properties and
measures have been studied in terms of the sequence $a$.

In this thesis, we extend these results to a more general collection
