SUMMARY:Math Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:
 Samit Dasgupta, Duke University, will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The 
 presentation topic is Stark's Conjectures 
 and Hilbert's 12th Problem.\n

 In 
 this talk we will discuss two central problems 
 in algebraic number theory and their interconnections: 
 explicit class field theory (also 
 known as Hilbert's 12th Problem), and the special 
 values of L-functions. The goal of explicit 
 class field theory is to describe the abelian 
 extensions of a ground number field via 
 analytic means intrinsic to the ground field. 
 Meanwhile, there is an abundance of conjectures 
 on the special values of L-functions at 
 certain integer points. Of these, Stark's Conjecture 
 has special relevance toward explicit 
 class field theory.\n\n
