|-
| bgcolor="#BCD2EE"  |This talk will be an introduction to studying moduli space of abelian varieties in characteristic p via different stratifications. This will be a pre-talk for the upcoming Arizona Winter school in March! I'll try and introduce the theory and give an overview of the kinds of questions and objects we'll come across in the winter school.

|-
| bgcolor="#BCD2EE"  |In this talk, I will sketch how to use the modularity theorem to construct lots of rational points in the elliptic curves, based on the idea of Heegner. Among the constructions, we will see how L-functions come into the story, and how the story end up with the Gross-Zagier formula.

|-
| bgcolor="#BCD2EE"  |As a slight relation to Hyun Jong's talk on zoos of L-functions last week, we'll explore how one can use Dedekind zeta functions over number fields to count integer points lying on a circle of integral radius r centered at the origin and satisfying some prime divisibility conditions. If time allows, we'll see how this counting problem is related to counting isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over Q of bounded naive heights that admit Q-rational 5-isogenies, an application of which is based on joint work with Santiago Arango-Pineros, Changho Han, and Oana Padurariu.

|-
| bgcolor="#BCD2EE" |We are going to calculate some algebraic integrals on algebraic curves (in particular a twice punctured elliptic curve/Q), figure out their transcendence over Q (to the best of our abilities...). Then we are going to remember class field theory and calculate these integrals cleverly on "the space" (to be revealed in the talk). I'll explain why "the space" is a sane object, and discuss the relation between these integrals and (oh my) Galois representations.

| bgcolor="#BCD2EE" align="center" |Thesis Defense: Cohen-Lenstra heuristics and vanishing of zeta functions for superelliptic curves over finite fields
|-
| bgcolor="#BCD2EE" |Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland proved a Cohen-Lenstra result for imaginary quadratic function fields over finite fields by asymptotically counting points on Hurwitz schemes, which parameterize tamely ramified G-covers of the projective line. Moreover, Ellenberg-Li-Shusterman used the methods of Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland to prove that a fixed complex number vanishes on almost no Zeta functions of hyperelliptic curves over finite fields, with respect to a limit taking the genera of the curves to infinity and then the sizes of the base fields to infinity. I will talk about my thesis work on extending their results to higher degree function fields and curves, including a big monodromy result for the moduli space of superelliptic curves.
