Computational Algebra Seminar: Creutz -- Arithmetic of superelliptic curves

Speaker: Brendan Creutz (Sydney)
Title:  Arithmetic of superelliptic curves
Time & Place: 3:05pm-4pm, Thursday 27 October, Carslaw 535

Abstract: I will discuss some basics of how one might go about computing the
set of rational solutions to an equation of the form y^q = f(x), where f(x)
is a polynomial with rational coefficients and q is a prime number.
