The aim of this programme is to break new ground in the arithmetic theory of K3 surfaces and closely related varieties (e.g., Enriques and elliptic surfaces; hyper-Kähler varieties), capitalising on a web of recent advances and conjectural frameworks. Progress on the arithmetic of K3 surfaces will likely have important consequences for more general questions about Shimura varieties, abelian and hyper-Kähler varieties, their rational and algebraic points.
The programme consists of 5 weeks of research collaborations (working groups, seminars) capped off by a one week workshop. More information on this programme will be published shortly.
The CIMPA and the Bernoulli Center collaborate to fund the participation of young researchers, including doctoral students and those who have completed their doctorate within the last 5 years or are under the age of 36. This opportunity is aimed at individuals based in developing countries, as defined by the IMU-CDC. You can find more information and how to apply on this page.
