Venue:
INI Seminar Room 1
Session Title:
Matrix Ensembles and L-Functions
Abstract:
This talk will be a fairly down-to-earth survey of the theory of elliptic curves, with special emphasis on stating the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and explaining the various invariants that enter into it, and in particular how this turns out to be related to Random Matrix Theory.
