Regulators and Heights in Algebraic Geometry
April 12–17, 2008
University of Alberta
The study of regulators and that of heights, are both highly developed and intricate subjects, that thrive through energetic interactions with arithmetic algebraic geometry, number theory, algebraic K-theory, and Hodge theory. For a variety defined...
