| Abstract: There are some objects in number theory that are particularly fundamental -- examples include "number fields", "class groups", and "elliptic curves" -- yet very little is known about how many such objects there are having given invariants, or how these objects are distributed with respect to these invariants. In this talk, I will try to describe why number theorists are so interested in these questions, and will discuss a few recent results that give some answers. |
