Harvard University

Department of Mathematics — Analytic Number Theory

United States · PhD

The Department of Mathematics at Harvard University has a world-class tradition in analytic number theory, encompassing L-functions, modular forms, and automorphic representations. It is an important academic institution for studying number-theoretic problems related to the Kakeya conjecture.

学术历史

Harvard's analytic number theory tradition is closely associated with the work of Richard Taylor, Barry Mazur, and other scholars. Taylor made important contributions to the follow-up work on the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem and to automorphic forms. Harvard has long maintained a world-leading position at the intersection of algebraic and analytic number theory.

当前状态

The Harvard Mathematics Department currently offers courses in analytic number theory, modular forms, and automorphic representations, with an active number theory seminar. The school's mathematical collaboration with MIT provides students with additional academic resources.
