Meeting Goals

This is a conference marking the 50th anniversary of the publication of Barry Mazur’s “Modular curves and the Eisenstein ideal” and Ken Ribet’s “A modular construction of unramified p-extensions of Q(μ_p).” These two papers have been extremely influential and form the foundation for several of the most active areas of research in number theory today. The conference aims to facilitate interaction and spark engagement among these areas, which have developed great distinctiveness and depth over the last five decades even though they arise from common foundational texts. The speakers represent many of the areas influenced by Mazur’s and Ribet’s papers.
