Description:
The Canadian Number Theory Association (CNTA) was founded in 1987 at the International Number Theory Conference at Laval University. The purpose of the CNTA is to enhance and promote learning and research in Number Theory, particularly in Canada. To advance these goals the CNTA organizes major international conferences, with the aim of exposing Canadian students and researchers to the latest developments in number theory. The previous meetings have been held in Banff (1988), Vancouver (1989), Kingston (1991), Halifax (1994), Ottawa (1996), Winnipeg (1999), Montreal (2002) and Toronto (2004) and Vancouver (2006). These have been high quality conferences which have had wide participation of the international number theory community.
Overview
The conference will contain 12 plenary lectures, including a talk given by the winner of the 2008 Ribenboim Prize (an award for distinguished research in number theory), and a Public Lecture open to the general public. Plenary lectures are 45 minutes in length, and our emphasis will be on analytic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and their fruitful interactions developed in recent years.
Speakers: Confirmed Plenary Speakers: Henri Darmon (McGill), Andrew Granville (Montreal), Roger Heath-Brown (Oxford), Ram Murty (Queen's), Carl Pomerance (Dartmouth), Bjorn Poonen (Berkeley), Alice Silverberg (University of California, Irvine), Trevor Wooley (University of Bristol).
