Loïs Faisant

I am maître de conférence (assistant professor), member of the AGA team, at Laboratoire Paul Painlevé, Université de Lille.

mathematical interests

I work in arithmetic geometry. I am interested in a certain number of topics:

• algebraic geometry: Cox rings and applications (distribution of rational points on varieties, moduli spaces of curves, …); G-bundles over a curve;
• analytic number theory: circle method, harmonic analysis, zeta functions, especially the developpement of their motivic versions and their applications to geometry and arithmetics;
• logic: model theory for motivic integration and applications to arithmetics.

See the “Research” page for a list of works.

In my native language (French), my first name is gender neutral. Its pronouciation is close to that of Louis in English but is different: in ˈluːɪs you have to replace uː by əʊ (like the final o in tomato) to get ˈləʊɪs (and pronounce the final s if you did not). My pronouns in English are he/him/his/they/them/their. You can write to me in English, French, Spanish or Italian.
