Abstract
This will be a one-week conference broadly focused on the topics of the LMFDB, mathematical databases, computation, number theory, and arithmetic geometry. The conference will include invited talks, presentations by authors of papers submitted to the conference and selected by the scientific committee following peer-review, as well as time for research and collaboration. We plan to publish a proceedings volume that will include all of the accepted papers.
The organizers of the first conference on LMFDB, Computation, and Number Theory (LuCaNT) are excited to issue a call for papers for an associated proceedings volume to be published in an open access volume of Contemporary Mathematics. We strongly encourage anyone with research related to mathematical databases or computation to submit a paper here. The suggested length for papers is no more than 20-25 pages, excluding references. However, longer papers will also be considered.
Papers will go through a peer review process. In addition, any developed code should be placed in a publicly available repository such as GitHub to be available to the reviewers (to help improve the quality, accessibility, re-usability, and reproducibility of the code and data).
It is not required that an accepted paper be presented at the conference but from among the accepted papers a select list of speakers will be invited to give talks at the LuCaNT conference at ICERM.
The deadline for paper submissions was January 22, 2023. We anticipate final decisions on each paper by May 2023.
Graduate students will not be required to present posters but will be encouraged to submit titles and abstracts for lightning talks instead.
Most invitations for participation will be issued in mid April; applications received by March 31st will be considered for this review.
This workshop is an activity of the Simons Collaboration 'Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory, and Computation' and is supported by the Simons Foundation.
