Temporary wiki for organizing the informal reading groups at the Arithmetic Statistics program at MSRI.

This is an example of how to make a separate subpage correctly.

Cohen-Lenstra heuristics

  • chair: Bjorn Poonen
  • The first meeting of the reading group will be Tuesday, January 18, 11-12. It will be in the 2nd floor seminar room if that room is available.
  • Informal reading group on the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics
  • Reading list (in increasing order of sophistication):
    • MR0750661 Cohen, H. ; Lenstra, H. W., Jr. Heuristics on class groups. Number theory (New York, 1982), 26--36, Lecture Notes in Math., 1052, Springer, Berlin, 1984.
    • MR0756082 (85j:11144) Cohen, H. ; Lenstra, H. W., Jr. Heuristics on class groups of number fields. Number theory, Noordwijkerhout 1983 (Noordwijkerhout, 1983), 33--62, Lecture Notes in Math., 1068, Springer, Berlin, 1984.
    • MR1837670 (2003a:11065) Delaunay, Christophe. Heuristics on Tate-Shafarevitch groups of elliptic curves defined over Q. Experiment. Math. 10 (2001), no. 2, 191--196.
    • PDFs of these three papers have been placed in my public directory at MSRI, which I think can be accessed by typing cd ~bpoonen/Public at a terminal prompt.

Iwaniec-Luo-Sarnak

Bhargava-Shankar

  • chair: Barry Mazur
  • times: Thursdays 11-12
  • pp. 2-9 (i.e., the Introduction) of Binary quadratic forms having bounded invariants, and the boundedness of average ranks of elliptic curves

Quadratic twists of elliptic curves: 2-Selmer ranks
