Number Theory & Algebraic Geometry

Number theory is one of the most ancient and fundamental branches of mathematics. Originally it was mainly occupied with finding natural solutions of algebraic equations. For example, solving the equation x^2+y^2=z^2 describes all right-angle triangles with integral side lengths. Nowadays, number theory is very diverse and relates to nearly all other areas: algebra and algebraic geometry, group representation theory, analysis, including complex and non-archimedean ones, dynamics and probability, model theory. Main directions represented in our group are: representation theory, modular forms, automorphic forms and L-functions, algebraic geometry, p-adic methods and non-archimedean methods.
