Diophantine problems arising from tetrahedra
Christopher Lyons,

From the humble right triangle stem two rich, classical Diophantine problems: Pythagorean triples and the Congruent Number Problem. Both of these involve the study of rational points on algebraic curves. I'll discuss a higher-dimensional version of these problems leading to certain algebraic surfaces and their rational points. This is joint work with Dinakar Ramakrishnan.
