Dear Bianca Viray,
On behalf of the organizers of the Arizona Winter School, I am writing to draw your attention to the upcoming
2026 Arizona Winter School (AWS) on Computational Aspects of Arithmetic Geometry and Cryptography, and ask you to encourage students to apply to the program. The school will take place
March 7-11, 2026 at the University of Arizona, in Tucson.
The AWS is an intense 5-day in-person workshop, aimed at graduate students. Our goal is to have students engage with recent fundamental advances in number theory and related subjects, through a combination of deftly constructed lecture courses by leading experts,
structured evening problem sessions, and directed group projects around open problems.
The four lecture courses in this year's school will be delivered by
· Sarah Arpin and Chloe Martindale: Exploiting higher dimensions in isogeny-based cryptography
· Kirsten Eisentraeger: Supersingular isogeny graphs in cryptography
· David Harvey: Counting points on hyperelliptic curves over finite fields
· John Voight: Computing modular forms
The application deadline for students is November 15th, 2025, and for senior participants is
December 15th, 2025.
For further information about the school, please see our website:

I very much hope that you will be able to help us to encourage interested students to apply to the 2026 AWS.
Warm Regards,
Hang Xue
On behalf of the AWS organizers: Anna Medvedovsky, Anthony Várilly-Alvarado, and Isabel Vogt (main program) with Renee Bell, Daniel Erman, Brandon Levin, Padma Srinivasan, and Hang Xue.
