Conferences, Workshops, and Summer Schools Organized


Duke Number Theory School 2026

May 25-29, 2026 at Duke University

DNTS is a graduate summer school hosted by the Duke RTG Linked via L-functions, which will gather 10-15 graduate students to study a focused topic in number theory for one intense week in a friendly, collaborative environment. All lectures at the summer school will be given by student participants: each student participant will give two 45-minute presentations (written by hand, on a chalk board, no slides). Graduate students of all years are eligible to apply, including rising graduate students.

The theme at DNTS in 2026 is Tauberian Theorems and Applications.

Tauberian theorems are broadly used (as black boxes) in number theory, ranging from arithmetic statistics and prime number counting to the study of Manin's conjecture. The theory is very old, and has been written down in many places. But some recent work has uncovered (and corrected) flaws in the theorem statements or theorem proofs in a few commonly cited sources. Participants at the summer school will learn correct proofs, correct theorem statements, and counterexamples that indicate why certain hypotheses are necessary, or how limitations on the strength of the outcomes can arise. Additionally, participants will see a wide range of celebrated applications of Tauberian theorems.
