A conference on L-functions and Arithmetic will be held at Harvard University from June 13-16, 2016 in honor of Karl Rubin's 60th birthday.

Karl is the Edward and Vivian Thorp Professor and current Chair of the Department of Mathematics. The conference will bring together a community of researchers at all levels to discuss topics in number theory related to Karl's research, including elliptic curves, L-functions, Iwasawa theory, and Euler systems.

Karl's honors and awards include the AMS Cole Prize in Number Theory, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Sloan Fellowship, and the Humboldt Foundation Research Award. He was also an inaugural Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
