A lab that studies Galois representations through moduli spaces.

AboutAbout the lab
Viewing number-theoretic objects as spaces.
The Imai Lab works in arithmetic geometry, studying Galois representations and moduli spaces.
The lab investigates moduli spaces of number-theoretic objects and applies the results to the study of Galois representations.
Key terms
- Arithmetic geometry
- A field that studies problems in number theory, such as equations in integers, through the geometric properties of shapes
- Galois representation
- A representation, in the form of matrices, of the symmetries that permute the solutions of an equation (the Galois group)
- Moduli space
- A space obtained by collecting all mathematical objects of a certain kind and regarding the collection itself as a single geometric object
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's field is arithmetic geometry, with Galois representations and moduli spaces as its themes.
