These semi-annual events in number theory, take place alternately at the CRM in Montreal and the Fields Institute in Toronto.

The Workshops are meant to be a mixture of general over-view talks about current research done by the groups, and presentations by students. Special emphasis will be put on designing the activities so as to offer ample opportunities for students to interact and get a broader view of their area.

The goal of this workshop is to give a snapshot of some of the important current developments in number theory in several areas of specialization represented in Montreal and Toronto (and McMaster). In that sense it diverges from our typical format of devoting a meeting for a single topic; also, this time the talks are given by faculty and not by students. Our hope is that the program will increase the synergy between various groups in Montreal and Toronto.

The workshop will provide a panorama of current research in number theory as represented by the faculty in Montreal and Toronto.

There will be a full day program on Saturday and the lectures will continue through the mid afternoon on Sunday.
