I moved to Stanford in 2006.
Previously I was on the faculty of the
University of Michigan. In the
past, I have
also been
supported by the
American Institute of Mathematics.
I am interested in number theory, especially L-functions and multiplicative number theory.
Mathematics Research Center
Since Autumn 2009, I have
been the Director of the Mathematics Research Center (MRC) at Stanford.
The MRC funds a large number of the research and outreach activities
of the Department. In particular it funds visitors speaking in a
number of seminar, the Departmental Colloquium, various distinguished
lecture series, and brings in short and long term visitors who are
collaborating actively with members of the Department. The MRC also funds
activities for undergraduates (such as the Polya seminar and the SUMO Lecture
series), and high school students (for example, SUMAC and the
Stanford Math Circle). The
website for
the MRC is in the process of being revamped. A brief summary of
recent MRC activities may be found here.
Papers
All of my recent papers have been posted on the arXiv. Here is
a link to
the recent listings in number theory, and a link to my papers. Please
be warned that sometimes the published version may be a little
different from the arXiv version. For the publication details
you may check MathSciNet.
Journals
I am an editor for the Journal of Number Theory, the
International Journal of Number Theory, Communications
in Contemporary Mathematics, and The Ramanujan Journal. I am always happy to
process good articles for these journals. Several of these
journals have online submissions pages; please use these
to submit papers.
Number theory seminar
Together with Dan Bump,
Brian Conrad,
Brian Conrey
and Akshhay Venkatesh,
I am organizing
a
Stanford/AIM Number Theory Seminar. Please
let one of us know if you would like to visit, or suggest a speaker.
Another seminar of interest to number theorists is the
Stanford Representation Theory Seminar.
Teaching
Students in my current (Autumn 2011) Math 215A course
will find the syllabus and problem sets here.
I will also be running the
Polya Seminar on problem solving; this is also offered as the 1
credit course Math 193, but you don't have to sign up for the class
to come to the seminars.
I am currently teaching a graduate course on transcendental
number theory. Here are Ian Petrow's notes
from these lectures.
In winter '06, I taught a graduate course on additive number theory,
modeled after Gowers's Part III course at Cambridge.
Here are the Notes from
these lectures, and problem sets 1, 2, 3, and 4.
