Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of British Columbia
$200,000.00
Arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory
FY 2019-20
Summary
Solving mathematical equations is an important aspect of humanity's quest for knowledge. Within this framework, one can explore solving equations which have rational numbers as coefficients. For this, one needs to understand possible field extensions of the field of rational numbers, where such solutions might lie. In mathematical parlance, one needs to understand the structure of the Galois group of the field of rational numbers. Ramdorai seeks to explore the Galois group using tools from Iwasawa theory, the theory of motives. Advances in Algebraic Number Theory in recent centuries are often a direct result of studying this central problem.
