Workshop on Curves and Applications
Speakers
Details
This project-driven workshop on algebraic curves will bring together
experts to further current research in the following areas:
- Mathematical aspects of algebraic curves, with emphasis on
constructing curves with special properties, such as prescribed
covering groups, torsion or with many rational points;
- Arithmetic infrastructure, with the additional goal of
implementation in the computer algebra system SAGE;
- Applications, including cryptography.
