"Density of polynomials with squarefree discriminant"
The problem of the density of squarefree discriminant polynomials is an old one, being considered by many people, and the density being conjectured by Lenstra. A proof has been out of question for a

“Notions weaker than ML-randomness”
Though Martin-L ̈of randomness is the central randomness notion we have discussed, one can address criticisms to the claim that this notion is the appropriate one by considering weaker and stronger randomness notions for sets. We will discuss weaker variants.

"Griffith's theorem and its applications"
In this talk, we will see how all of the machinery we built so far in this seminar, culminates in the statement of Griffith's theorem, which produces a well behaved description of the derivative of the period map in terms of the Kodaira-Spencer map. The power of this result will be explored through concrete examples. In particular, We will make our first encounter with a Torelli theorem.

“Xiaos Conjecture on Canonically Fibered Surfaces”
In 1988, Gang Xiao proposed a list of open problems on algebraic surfaces. Many of these remain open to this day. One of the problems concerns the maximal relative genus of a canonically fibered surface. In this talk, I will talk about my proof of this conjecture.

“A higher rank Selberg sieve and applications”
We present a general higher rank Selberg sieve and apply it to various questions in number theory. In particular, we improve upon a result of Heath-Brown on almost prime k-tuples. This is joint work with Professor Ram Murty.

We will describe a correspondence of ideals of R with ideals of the ring of fractions Q(R) in the case where R is noetherian. There will also be examples.
