This is a joint seminar between Boston College and MIT. We meet 2 or 3 times per semester, alternating which university serves as host. Each meeting features two distinguished researchers in number theory (construed broadly).
Organizers: Sol Friedberg (BC), Ben Howard (BC), Dubi Kelmer (BC), Spencer Leslie (BC), Keerthi Madapusi Pera (BC), Bjorn Poonen (MIT), Andrew Sutherland (MIT), Wei Zhang (MIT)
