Frobenius Distributions

This volume contains the proceedings of the Winter School and Workshop on Frobenius Distributions on Curves, held from February 17-21, 2014 and February 24-28, 2014, at the Centre International de Rencontres Mathematiques, Marseille, France.

This volume gives a representative sample of current research and developments in the rapidly developing areas of Frobenius distributions. This is mostly driven by two famous conjectures: the Sato-Tate conjecture, which has been recently proved for elliptic curves by L. Clozel, M. Harris and R. Taylor, and the Lang-Trotter conjecture, which is still widely open. Investigations in this area are based on a fine mix of algebraic, analytic and computational techniques, and the papers contained in this volume give a balanced picture of these approaches.
