Number Theory and Applications: Proceedings of the International Conferences on Number Theory and Cryptography

This collection of articles is the proceedings of the two international conferences on Number Theory and Cryptography) held at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute. In recent years the interest in number theory is increasing due to its applications in areas like error-correcting codes and cryptography. The proceedings contain papers in various areas of number theory, such as combinatorial, algebraic, analytic and transcendental aspects, arithmetic algebraic geometry, as well as graph theory and cryptography. While some papers do contain new results, several of them are expository articles on some interesting themes mentioning open questions, which will be useful to young researchers.
