"Diophantine Techniques in Bourgain's Discrete Restriction Conjecture"

We continue the last talk about Bourgain's discrete restriction conjecture, and explain the Diophantine techniques used in the recent progress on the conjecture by Hughes and Wooley.

This seminar will be held both online and in person:

"Heegaard Floer Homology"

This will be an introduction to Heegaard Floer homology. We will aim to present its definition and state some topological applications.

"Heuristics for  anti-cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions"

For an imaginary quadratic field, there are two natural $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions, the cyclotomic and the anticyclotomic. We'll start with a brief description of Iwasawa theory for the cyclotomic extensions, and then describe some computations for anticyclotomic  $\mathbb{Z}_p$ extensions, especially the fields and their class numbers. This is joint work with LC Washington.
