Conference

The CTNT 2026 Conference (June 5-7, 2026) will feature research talks on arithmetic geometry, number theory, and related topics. The goal is to bring together experts, postdocs, and students from arithmetic geometry and number theory. We hope this will stimulate mathematical discussion among the conference participants and summer school students. The students attending the summer school preceding the conference will be invited to attend the conference. The talks will give them a sense of contemporary research themes in number theory.

Deadline for support is April 5th. Deadline to register to attend is May 15th.

List of confirmed speakers (more added as we get confirmations):

  • Patrick Allen (McGill)
  • Santiago Arango-Piñeros (UMass Amherst)
  • Sarah Arpin (Virginia Tech)
