【Theme】: In recent years, interest in computer-based formalization of mathematics has grown, and it is increasingly recognized that formalizing and verifying mathematics using Lean4 has the potential to significantly transform future mathematical research practices. Furthermore, recent advancements include AI-driven automated theorem proving and the use of AI to tackle unsolved problems, marking a notable expansion of artificial intelligence into mathematical research.
At this ZMC research conference, starting from computer formalization in arithmetic geometry and algebraic geometry, we aim to address AI-driven automated formalization and automated theorem proving from a mathematician's perspective.
Similar to last year, this conference will also include a three-day group work session where participants will split into small groups and engage in formalizing mathematics related to arithmetic geometry using Lean4.
Mathematicians whose specialties lie outside arithmetic geometry and algebraic geometry are also warmly welcome to attend!

【︎Session Content】:
Morning sessions: Sessions featuring computer formalization, AI-driven automatic formalization, and automated theorem proving in arithmetic geometry
Speakers:
Christian Merten (Utrecht)
Dagur Asgeirsson (Alberta)
Andrew Yang (Imperial College London)
Sho Sonoda (RIKEN AIP)
