Iwasawa Theory for GL(2) and Applications (26w5557)

The Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) will host the "Iwasawa Theory for GL(2) and Applications" workshop in Oaxaca, from August 30 to September 4, 2026.

The workshop aims to bring researchers together to further develop solutions to some of the most profound challenges in modern number theory. The focus will be on advancing understanding of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, a deep unsolved problem in mathematics that relates objects in several disciplines via one simple equation, and its connections with the Iwasawa main conjecture, a driving force of modern mathematical research. The workshop reviews the latest advances on these topics and explores novel solutions and unknown cases of the aforementioned conjectures.

The Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) in Mexico, and the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) in Banff, are collaborative Canada-US-Mexico ventures that provide an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station in Banff is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Alberta Technology and Innovation. The research station in Oaxaca is funded by UNAM and IIMAS.
