Galois representations attached to elliptic curves
This talk will be a survey about Galois representations attached to elliptic curves and their connections to other problems in number theory. We will discuss prime values of quadratic polynomials, images of the mod n Galois representations and division fields, the inverse Galois problem for , and the determination of coprime solutions to
