The First Montreal-Toronto Workshop in Number Theory.
September 4-5, 2010, CRM Montreal.
Organizers: Eyal Goren (McGill) and Steve Kudla (Toronto)

The First Montreal-Toronto Workshop is devoted to the arithmetic of  Shimura varieties of type O(2, n) that feature in Borcherds theory and where many advances have been made recently. The next meeting will take place in Toronto, April 9-10, 2011. Funding for these events is provided by the CRM and Fields Institutes.

The lectures will take place at the lecture hall on the 6-th floor of the CRM (Pavillon Andre Aisenstadt, room 6214). Here is a precise schedule.
