Inclusive Paths in Explicit Number Theory
Summer School

BIRS at UBC–Okanagan, Kelowna, BC, Canada

July 2–15, 2023


Summer School Description

The “Inclusive Paths in Explicit Number Theory” summer school is one of the highlight events organized by the PIMS-funded Collaborative Research Group (CRG) “L-functions in Analytic Number Theory”. 

It is a two-week event hosted by the Banff International Research Station at the UBC Okanagan campus in Kelowna, B.C., and taking place from July 2–15, 2023 (see also the BIRS website for the summer school).


After an initial week of training, the participants will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge problems in a collaborative context with leading and emerging researchers.


Week 1 (July 3–7, hybrid):
The first week of IPENT will have mini-courses and learning activities delivered in a hybrid format. The courses will cover several topics in explicit number theory such as Chebotarev's density theorem, zero-density theorems, subconvexity, zero-free regions and repulsion, character sums, and applications of explicit results. The first week will also include a session that focuses on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).
See the summer school program for the instructors and lecture topics and abstracts.


Week 2 (July 10–14, in person):
The second week of IPENT will have organized group research projects in explicit number theory led by senior researchers, as well as a second EDI session. See the summer school program for the research projects and teams.
