Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to extensions
of Hilbert's Tenth Problem and related questions in Number Theory and
Geometry. The main topics for the workshop are

1. HTP over rings and fields of algebraic numbers (in particular HTP
    over rational numbers, Mazur's Conjectures, elliptic curve methods)

2. HTP over functions fields of arbitrary characteristic, elementary
    equivalence versus isomorphism problem for function fields.

3. HTP for rings and fields of meromorphic functions
   (both complex and p-adic)

The workshop is organized by Bjorn Poonen, Alexandra Shlapentokh, Xavier
Vidaux, and Karim Zahidi.

The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused workshops in all
areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC focused workshops are
distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as
making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof
of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two
distinct areas of mathematics.
