About Workshop

The past decade has seen tremendous advances in the theory of Diophantine equations, arithmetic combinatorics and harmonic analysis. Moreover, influential perspectives, analogies and novel connections between these fields have developed. All of these advances are recent enough that their full potential has yet to be unleashed. Following an extended period of restricted travel, the time is ripe to unite and to push these boundaries. The objectives for this conference were:

  • To bring the harmonic analysis, number theory and arithmetic combinatorics communities all together for the first time in a conference;
  • To unify these recent developments across all three areas, and explore their full scope;
  • To discuss recent, highly influential applications and explore new ones;
  • To assist early career researchers by connecting them to each other and to leading figures. As part of this, there was an accompanying two-day workshop for early career researchers held 19-20 June 2025 – Diophantine equations, combinatorics, analysis in number theory: emerging researchers (DECANTER)

Another objective was to celebrate Trevor Wooley’s revolutionary contributions across these three areas. Trevor has been an inspirational leader in these fields for decades, and many would relish the opportunity to reflect on his ongoing breakthrough work.
