This seminar is organized by Akshay Venkatesh and Frank Thorne. We take turns giving talks on various aspects of analytic number theory, with plenty of questions and discussion. Talks by newcomers are especially encouraged.

Please e-mail us if you would like to give a talk. Talks are usually expository, but we invite research talks as well. You can send abstracts or notes to fthorne [at] math.stanford.edu and they will be posted here.

There is a mailing list for this seminar. To subscribe, go here.
