Title: Diophantine problems, elliptic curves, and a lot of speculations
Abstract: Elliptic curves, which carry both algebraic and geometric structures, are seen as one of the most fundamental objects in number theory, as understanding them fully will resolve many conjectures. While a lot is known about elliptic curves, there are still fundamental questions that we cannot answer. In this talk, we will discuss some of these problems and the current developments on the subject.
