The project will explore various topics within number theory and algebraic geometry. These are ancient areas of inquiry rooted in very basic questions about solving polynomial equations and motivated by concrete applications. For example, the Greek astronomer Apollonius of Perga (240-190BC) developed his theory of conics and ellipses to facilitate the study of Astronomy. Questions about numbers and shapes still remain central to the frontier of mathematical research, and this project has a particular emphasis on using modern technical tools to study classical problems. The project includes problems accessible to undergraduates and graduate students, and includes efforts including substantial student focused conference organization (such as the Arizona Winter School).Mazur's torsion and isogeny theorems are cornerstones of arithmetic geometry, and arithmetic statistics is an old field full of classical problems. In recent years both areas have enjoyed an influx of new ideas and progress, especially via ideas from the geometry of numbers, moduli spaces, algebraic topology, computational number theory, and more. In particular, this project will study Mazur's ``Program B'', higher degree torsion on elliptic curves, a generalization of the Batyrev--Manin and Malle conjectures to stacks (in a sense, an interpolation of these conjectures), and non-abelian (and infinite degree) Cohen--Lenstra heuristics (and, in the function field case, theorems). Each of these sub-projects will introduced new methods and toolkits/frameworks that are expected to be broadly useful, and suggests numerous open problems and new directions for research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将探讨数字理论和代数几何形状中的各种主题。这些是古老的探究领域，植根于有关解决多项式方程的非常基本的问题，并由具体应用激励。例如，佩尔加（240-190BC）的希腊天文学家阿波罗尼乌斯（Apollonius）开发了他的锥形和椭圆理论，以促进天文学研究。关于数字和形状的问题仍然是数学研究前沿的核心，并且该项目特别强调使用现代技术工具来研究经典问题。该项目包括在本科生和研究生方面可以解决的问题，包括大量以学生为中心的会议组织（例如亚利桑那州冬季学校）的努力。Mazur的扭转和同学理论是算术几何的基石，算术统计数据是一个充满经典问题的旧领域。近年来，这两个领域都涌入了新的思想和进步，尤其是通过数字，模量空间，代数拓扑，计算数理论等的思想。 In particular, this project will study Mazur's ``Program B'', higher degree torsion on elliptic curves, a generalization of the Batyrev--Manin and Malle conjectures to stacks (in a sense, an interpolation of these conjectures), and non-abelian (and infinite degree) Cohen--Lenstra heuristics (and, in the function field case, theorems).这些子项目中的每一个都将引入新的方法和工具包和框架，这些方法和工具包/框架有望广泛有用，并提出了许多开放问题和新的研究方向。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
