SUMMARY:Langlands and arithmetic - Jack Thorne (Cambridge)
DTSTART:20151123T170000Z

CONTACT:HoD Secretary\, DPMMS
DESCRIPTION:The Langlands program is a framework for understanding the \nd
 eep connections between modular forms and arithmetic. Work in the \nLangla
 nds program is often highly technical\, but can have striking \napplicatio
 ns to number theory\, a key example being Wiles' proof of \nFermat's Last 
 Theorem.\n\nI will explain the basics of the Langlands program and some re
 cent \napplications to classical problems in number theory which\, at firs
 t \nglance\, have no relation to modular forms.\n\nA wine reception will b
 e held in the Central Core\, CMS after the talk.  \n\nAll welcome
