Fourteenth Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium, ANTS-XIV,
University of Auckland, New Zealand
June 29 - July 4, 2020
About
The ANTS meetings, held biannually since 1994, are the premier international forum for the presentation of new research in computational number theory and its applications. They are devoted to algorithmic aspects of number theory, including elementary number theory, algebraic number theory, analytic number theory, geometry of numbers, algebraic geometry, finite fields, and cryptography.
The 14th ANTS meeting was intended to be held at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, on June 30 - July 4, 2020. But of course, due to COVID-19 the conference has been turned into an online conference. As a result of very generous sponsorship from The National Science Foundation (NSF), The Number Theory Foundation (NTF), and the University of Auckland, the conference registration is free.
The meeting will be followed by an online workshop on the Mathematics of Post-Quantum crypto at the following times (approximately):
- Monday 6th UTC 3am-6am.
- Monday 6th UTC 9pm-midnight.
- Tuesday 7th UTC 9pm-midnight.
News
- The conference proceedings are published by Mathematical Sciences Publishers (MSP) as Volume 4 of the Open Book Series.
- The summer schools will take place on June 25-27. You should have been contacted directly by the summer school organisers if you have registered for the conference and ticked the box that said you were interested in the summer school.
