Hi,
Next Tuesday, April 3rd, 1:30 - 2:30, Professor Dinesh Thakur from University of Arizona will give a talk. Here is his title and abstract.
Title: Diophantine approximation of algebraic quantities in finite characteristic.
Abstract: After recalling the results of Dirichlet, Liouville, Roth, and Schmidt almost settling the number field case, we will explain why the situation is not even conjecturally understood in finite characteristic, and explain the recent
progress.
