I am a fourth-year PhD student under the supervision of Simon Rydin Myerson and Sam Chow. I am currently applying for postdoc positions.

E-mail address: Nuno.Arala-Santos(at)warwick.ac.uk.

Interests

Number Theory, especially interactions between Analytic Number Theory and Diophantine Geometry.

Background

I obtained my Bachelor's degree from the University of Porto in 2018. I then did my Master's at the University of Bonn, which I finished in 2020. I wrote my Master's Thesis under the supervision of Valentin Blomer, who introduced me to the delta method.

For more information on my background see my CV.

Miscellaneous writing

Below are some math-related texts I wrote over the years, for various purposes. Unfortunately, some of them are written in Portuguese.

• (2014, in Portuguese) Three handouts on Euclidean Geometry topics, intended for Olympiad students: Geometry for Beginners, Random configurations and Brute Force. These are joint work with Miguel Moreira.
• (2015, in Portuguese) A short handout on the "Lifting the Exponent" Lemma, intended for Olympiad students: Lifting the Exponent.
• (2019, in Portuguese) Affine and Projective Geometry. This text was loosely inspired in a course I took in the final year of my Bachelor's.
• (2020) A short text on the classification of Quaternion Algebras over Local Fields.
• (2020) My Master's Thesis on Representation Numbers of Quadratic Forms.
