CONFERENCE
AGCT-15: Arithmetics, Geometry, Cryptography and Coding Theory 
May 18 – 22, 2015
This conference deals with the interactions between arithmetics, algebraic geometry and computer sciences, in particular coding theory and cryptology.

More precisely, the research themes of the conference are:

– Number theory, asymptotics of global fields
– Arithmetic Geometry, algebraic curves over finite fields or number fields, abelian varieties. Theoretical and algorithmic aspects of point counting
– Coding theory, algebraic and algebraic geometry codes, codes from curves and higher dimensional varieties, decoding algorithms
– Boolean functions, bent and APN functions, constructions of families of bent and hyperbent functions.
