Number theory in Cluj

Cluj Number Theory Circle (CNTC)

Launching September 2026 • Cluj-Napoca

The Cluj Number Theory Circle will meet in a relaxed seminar/club format with short lectures, student mini-presentations, and occasional mini-projects. We welcome students from UBB and UTCN—as well as anyone in the region who enjoys arithmetic geometry and its neighboring topics—to explore ideas together.

If you’d like to hear more and get involved, contact george.turcas@ubbcluj.ro. We will share the initial timetable and reading themes over the summer.

What we’ll do

Talks

Short, focused lectures on classical and modern number theory—modularity, Galois representations, Diophantine problems, and links to arithmetic geometry.

Student mini-presentations

Guided 10–20 minute presentations to build exposition skills and confidence, with mentoring for participants from both UBB and UTCN.

Mini-projects

Occasional collaborative sprints (problem sets, reading groups, small computational explorations) to test ideas and learn together.

Stay in the loop

Want to suggest a topic, volunteer a short talk, or host a mini-project? Drop a line at george.turcas@ubbcluj.ro. We will coordinate rooms and dates with colleagues at Babeș-Bolyai University and UTCN.
