Starting April 1st 2021 I work for the Universität der Bundeswehr München, so this site will no longer be maintained.
You can now reach me at martin.hofer@unibw.de.
Research
Preprints/Publications
- D. Bullach, M. Hofer: On trivial zeroes of Euler systems for Gm (preprint)
- M. Hofer, S. Kleine On the Gross order of vanishing conjecture for large vanishing orders (accepted for publication at Monatshefte für Mathematik)
- M. Hofer: On the Iwasawa-theoretic Mazur-Rubin-Sano conjecture for imaginary quadratic fields (no longer intended for publication as it is now a proper subset of On trivial zeroes of Euler systems for Gm)
- W. Bley, M. Hofer: Construction of elliptic p-units accepted for publication in "Development of Iwasawa theory

Invited Talks
- Oberseminar Arithmetische und Algebraische Geometrie - Universität München, (November 2019)
- Oberseminar des Essener Seminar für Algebraische Geometrie und Arithmetik - Universität Essen (July 2019)
- 'Groups and Representation Theory'- TU Kaiserslautern (May 2019)

Research Interests
- Iwasawa theory
- Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture
- Gross-Kuz'min conjecture
- Elliptic Units
- Stark's Conjecture and its refinements
- and computational aspects of the above
As part of the introduction to my dissertation I have written the text "A short, subjective history of number theory - from Fermat to the eTNC".
In this text I try to explain the above-mentioned research topics to non-experts readers and highlight some of the historical developments leading to these ideas.
