Publications

(Published versions differ slightly from preprints.)

Prepublications/Protopublications

Mathematical software

For my research, I often use the free* mathematical software systems PARI/GP and SageMath. I regularly contribute to SageMath by adding new features, fixing bugs and improving existing code. I have also made a number of contributions to PARI/GP.

* Free as in "free speech", not only as in "free beer"; see the GNU project.

The abgalrep, ellgalrep and modgalrep packages

I have written three software packages for computing Galois representations (or finite commutative group schemes over Q) attached to arithmetic objects:

Note: modgalrep is by far the largest of these packages; it consists of a C program together with several libraries and GP scripts. The other two are smaller and just consist of GP scripts.

The dual-pairs package

This is a SageMath package for computing with finite commutative group schemes and Galois representations in the form of dual pairs of algebras, as described in the preprint Dual pairs of algebras and finite commutative group schemes.

Agda packages

These are formalisations of small parts of mathematics in dependent type theory using the the Agda programming language.

Organisation

An Expedition into Arithmetic Geometry (2023)

Together with Samuele Anni, Hélène Esnault, Ronald van Luijk, Pierre Parent, Gabor Wiese and Andrei Yafaev, I organised the workshop An Expedition into Arithmetic Geometry, held in memory of Bas Edixhoven at the Lorentz Center (Leiden) from 30 May to 2 June 2023. The concluding event was the Bas Edixhoven Memorial Symposium on the afternoon of Friday 2 June.

COUNT workshop (2023)

I was one of the organisers of the workshop COUNT (COmputations and their Uses in Number Theory) at CIRM (Marseille) from 27 February to 3 March 2023.

6th QSC General Assembly (2021)

Wolfgang Löffler and I organised the 6th General Assembly of the Quantum Software Consortium at the Universiteit Leiden on Friday 5 November 2021.

Algorithms in Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry (2017)

I organised the workshop Algorithms in Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry at the Universiteit Leiden from 31 July to 4 August 2017.

Sage Days 51: Algorithms in Arithmetic Geometry (2013)

Together with Maarten Derickx and Michiel Kosters, I organised an edition of the Sage Days, titled Algorithms in Arithmetic Geometry, in the Lorentz Center in Leiden, 22–26 July 2013. See also the wiki.
