Rational and integral points

with special reference to homogeneous spaces

Capital Normal University, Beijing, China

24-30 September 2012

Conference organised by

Jean-Louis Colliot-Thélène (CNRS et Université Paris-Sud, France)

David Harari (Université Paris-Sud, France)

Alexei Skorobogatov (Imperial College London, England)

The aim of the conference is to bring together mathematicians working in the following areas:

rational and integral points (over number and function fields), descent and obstructions to

the local-global principle, arithmetic of linear algebraic groups and homogeneous spaces,

arithmetic of rationally connected varieties, the Brauer group, connections with topology

(Grothendieck’s section conjecture, étale homotopy), arithmetic of quadratic forms
