Title: Counting Rational Points near Flat Hypersurfaces
Abstract: How many rational points with denominator of a given size lie within a given distance from a compact hypersurface? In this talk, we shall describe how the geometry of the surface plays a key role in determining this count, and present a heuristic for the same. In a recent breakthrough, J.J. Huang proved that this guess is indeed true for hypersurfaces with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature. What about hypersurfaces with curvature only vanishing up to a finite order, at a single point? We shall offer a new heuristic in this regime which also incorporates the contribution arising from "local flatness". Further, we will describe how ideas from Harmonic Analysis can be used to establish the indicated estimates for hypersurfaces of this type immersed by homogeneous functions. In particular, we shall use a powerful bootstrapping argument relying on Poisson summation, duality between flat and "rough" hypersurfaces, and the method of stationary phase. A crucial role is played by a dyadic scaling argument exploiting the homogeneous nature of the hypersurface. Based on joint work with N. Technau.

Title: Oscillatory Integrals Count
Abstract: This talk is about phrasing (number theoretic) counting problems in terms oscillatory integrals. We shall provide a simple introduction to the topic, mention open questions, and report on joint work with Sam Chow, as well as on joint work with Chris Lutsko.
