Our goal is to organise a conference devoted to interactions between pure mathematics (in particular arithmetic and algebraic geometry) and information theory (especially cryptography and coding theory). This conference will be the eighteenth edition, with the first one held in 1987, in a series that has traditionally brought together some of the top specialists in the domains of arithmetic, geometry, and information theory. The corresponding international community is very active and all of the concerned research domains are developing and expanding rapidly.
Topics: Algebraic and arithmetic geometry over finite fields and global fields. Number theory, especially explicit and algorithmic. Algebro-geometric codes constructed from curves and higher-dimensional algebraic varieties over finite fields and global fields. -Arithmetic and geometric aspects of cryptography (symmetric, public key, and post-quantum) and cryptanalysis.
