Mathematics

This is Martin Bright's mathematical home page.

I am currently a temporary Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Institute at the University of Warwick. I work in the area of Diophantine equations and arithmetic geometry, specifically on the Brauer–Manin obstruction and related questions about rational points on varieties.

Teaching

In the 2010–11 academic year I will be teaching:

• MA3D5 Galois Theory (MathStuff)
• MA106 Linear Algebra (MathStuff)

Note: MathStuff links will only work if you have a Warwick login.

Articles

Here is a list of my publications and preprints.

Conferences and workshops

Where I'll be

• 25–29 October 2010: Arithmetic of Surfaces, Lorentz Center, Leiden University, Netherlands
• 6–10 September 2010: GTEM final conference, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain

Where I have been recently

• 19–23 July 2010: ANTS IX, INRIA, Nancy, France
• 4–10 July 2010: Rational Points 3, Thurnau, Germany
• 25–29 May 2010: Rational Points &ndash Theory & Experiment, ETH Zürich, Switzerland
• 17– 21 May 2010: Workshop on Computational Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry, Leuven, Belgium

Things I have organised

• Ronald van Luijk, Damiano Testa and I gave an instructional workshop on the geometry and arithmetic of surfaces at Warwick in April 2008, organised by Samir Siksek and ourselves.
• Tim Browning and I organised Diophantine Equations via Analytic Number Theory (DEViANT), 9–12 July 2007, Bristol.

Other resources

My PhD research (2002) involved doing some computations on diagonal quartic surfaces. Here are some bits of code and results.
