Description of the conference
In the last few years there has been a surge in research activity dedicated towards obtaining further explicit evidence for Stark's Conjecture, and in
formulating and investigating natural variants, refinements or generalizations thereof. By bringing
together the leading exponents of these
different strands of research this conference aims to improve understanding of the links between them. In addition,
the conference
program will include a series of survey talks aimed at making accessible to as wide an
audience as possible the main aspects of recent research into Stark's Conjecture.
At this time, confirmed main speakers include.
D. Burns (King's College London), H. Darmon
(McGill U. ), D. Dummit (U. Vermont), M. Flach (Caltech), C. Greither (Munich), B. H. Gross (Harvard U.), D. Hayes (UMass.
Amherst), M. Kurihara (Tokyo Metropolitan U.), C. Popescu (Johns
Hopkins U.), K. Rubin (Stanford
U.), X. Roblot (U. Lyon), V. Snaith (U. of Southampton), D.
Solomon (King's College London), H. Stark (U. C. San Diego).
