L-functions Program Committee:

Residual activity for the number theory participants will carry on
for the period April 1, 1994 to July 31, 1995. From its inception in
September, 1993, the L-functions program was designed to apitalise on
the polarisation of research directions which were expected to arise
from the Newton Institute, Cambridge venture held in the previous academic
year. Continued advances have been made both in the theory (e.g. the
work of Kato, Kolyvagin, Rubin, Wiles and others on the Main Conjecture
of Iwasawa Theory) and in the applications (e.g. the work of Lenstra,
Van der Geer etc. on codes and primality testing). The Fields Institute
program on L-functions has been fruitful in the area of collaboration
opportuniites for the participants and many research works have geen
completed in the paset seven months as well as others in progress as
the program continues.
Workshops
April 11-15, 1994 -- Workshop on L-functions and Automorphic
Forms
This workshop will focus on recent developments related to the search
for a general reciprocity law. This law is the central problem of number
theory and brings into focus concepts of representation theory and algebraic
geometry. The proff of the Taniyama conjecture in a large number of
cases is the most spectacular recent progress on this problem.
