Program and Abstracts of Conference on "100 Years of Artin's Primitive Root Conjecture"

Conference on "100 Years of Artin's Primitive Root Conjecture", August 9-13, 2027

This conference marks the centenary of Artin's celebrated 1927 conjecture on primitive roots, one of the most influential and enduring open problems in number theory. Over the past century, Artin's conjecture has inspired fundamental developments in both analytic and algebraic number theory, including deep connections with $L$-functions, sieve methods, Galois and Kummer theory, arithmetic statistics, modular forms, and arithmetic geometry.

Gerd Faltings to Receive the 2026 Abel Prize

Posted in

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has awarded the 2026 Abel Prize to Gerd Faltings, director emeritus at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and professor emeritus at the University of Bonn, "for introducing powerful tools in arithmetic geometry and solving long-standing diophantine conjectures by Mordell and Lang."

 

The prize will be presented by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon at a ceremony on May 26, 2026, in Oslo. It consists of 7.5 million Norwegian kroner, equivalent to €670,000, and is funded by the Norwegian government. Gerd Faltings is the first German mathematician to receive this highest honor in mathematics.
