Project description
A motivic circle method for the study of spaces of rational curves
The Hardy–Littlewood circle method is a well-known technique of analytic number theory that has successfully solved a number of major number theory problems such as the ternary Goldbach conjecture. It has also benefitted other fields, including quantum computing and algebraic geometry. The aim of the EU-funded MotivicCircleMethod project is to adapt the method to the so-called motivic setting. The proposed applications concern spaces of rational curves on hypersurfaces. Understanding the structure of such spaces can shed light on several major open questions in algebraic geometry and number theory.
