| A Case Study in the Analogy Between Z and F_q[t] |
| An influential concept in modern number theory is the idea that the integers Z and the ring of polynomials over a finite field F_q[t] share many traits. In this talk, I will discuss some particular examples of how this analogy can work, focusing on zeta functions and counting problems. No prior familiarity will be required! |

| Jiaqi Hou |
| Poincare series and Petersson trace formula |
| I will talk about the Poincare series, which are basic examples of modular forms, and the Petersson trace formula for SL(2,Z). Then I will discuss some applications of Petersson's formula. |

| p-adic L-functions |
| In this talk, I will look at how p-adic L-functions are constructed as first demonstrated by Kubota and Leopoldt. These are p-adic analogues of the Dirichlet L-functions and the main idea of the construction comes from interpolating the negative integer values of the classical L-functions. This talk should be accessible to everyone. |
