PhD in Analytic Number Theory and Automorphic Forms

Title:

Analytic Number Theory and Automorphic Forms

Research area and project description:

The project will concern research in some part of analytic number theory, automorphic forms and/or representation theory, building on recent advances in these subjects.  The analytic theory of automorphic forms and L-functions is a central part of modern number theory. The field is characterized by problems rather than methods. A central problem is to provide nontrivial estimates for L-functions; despite some progress, a solution remains elusive. Some recent work by the PI has involved techniques coming from representation theory and microlocal analysis, among other sources.

For technical reasons, you must upload a project description. When - as here - you apply for a specific project, please simply copy the project description above, and upload it as a PDF in the application. If you wish to, you can indicate an URL where further information can be found. 

Qualifications and specific competences:

Applicants must have a degree in Mathematics. The PhD study can be three years (with an MSc) or 3-5 years (with a BSc and possibly part of an MSc completed at the time of enrollment).

Place of employment and place of work:

The place of employment is Aarhus University, and the place of work is Department of Mathematics, Aarhus University, Denmark.
