SUMMARY:Millennium Prize Problems Lecture – Barry Mazur: About the Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer Conjecture
DESCRIPTION:<p>In the 1950s Bryan Birch and Peter Swinnerton–Dyer made computations that suggested a striking connection between a <em>basic global invariant</em> of an elliptic curve <em>E</em> over the field of rational numbers (namely, the rank of its group of rational points) and certain asymptotics of its <em>local arithmetic invariants</em> (i.e., the number of its rational points over finite fields).</p><p>This initial observation has evolved into their conjecture. My lecture will be an introduction to the general ideas behind its ever-expanding development.</p><p><a href="https://forms.gle/ByqxsDC2bXSpahmV9"><strong>Register to attend in-person.</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OsFHFnE1TM2vG4XWSs9S7Q"><strong>Register for the Zoom Webinar.</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.claymath.org/millennium/birch-and-swinnerton-dyer-conjecture/">Read more about the Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer Conjecture at the Clay Math website.</a></p>
