This volume is a collection of papers on number theory which evolved out of the workshop WIN—Women In Numbers, held November 2–7, 2008, at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) in Banff, Alberta, Canada. It includes articles showcasing outcomes from collaborative research initiated during the workshop as well as survey papers aimed at introducing graduate students and recent PhDs to important research topics in number theory. The contributions in this volume span a wide range of topics in arithmetic geometry and algebraic, algorithmic, and analytic number theory. Clusters of papers center around the four topics of moduli spaces and Shimura curves, curves and Jacobians over finite fields, Galois covers of function fields in positive characteristic, and zeta functions of graphs, with a fifth group of three individual articles on modular forms, Iwasawa theory, and Galois representations, respectively. The workshop and this volume are part of a broader WIN initiative, whose goals are to highlight and increase the research activities of women in number theory and to train female graduate students in number theory and related fields.

Exploring the interplay between deep theory and intricate computation, this volume is a compilation of research and survey papers in number theory, written by members of the Women In Numbers (WIN) network, principally by the collaborative research groups formed at Women In Numbers 3, a conference at the Banff International Research Station in Banff, Alberta, on April 21-25, 2014. The papers span a wide range of research areas: arithmetic geometry; analytic number theory; algebraic number theory; and applications to coding and cryptography.The WIN conference series began in 2008, with the aim of strengthening the research careers of female number theorists. The series introduced a novel research-mentorship model: women at all career stages, from graduate students to senior members of the community, joined forces to work in focused research groups on cutting-edge projects designed and led by experienced researchers. The goals for Women In Numbers 3 were to establish ambitious new collaborations between women in number theory, to train junior participants about topics of current importance, and to continue to build a vibrant community of women in number theory. Forty-two women attended the WIN3 workshop, including 15 senior and mid-level faculty, 15 junior faculty and postdocs, and 12 graduate students.
