Ari Shnidman

Ari Shnidman is an Associate Professor in Mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For the 2024/25 academic year, he is a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His research focuses on number theory, particularly arithmetic geometry, special values of L-functions, and arithmetic statistics.

Research Interests:
Shnidman investigates deep connections between algebraic curves, abelian varieties, and L-functions. His work spans Tate-Shafarevich groups, Ceresa cycles, Heegner cycles, and rank distribution in elliptic curves. Key methodologies include algebraic geometry, representation theory, and computational number theory.

Publications:
Recent papers explore Ceresa cycles, torsion in Tate-Shafarevich groups, and arithmetic of curves like Picard curves. Collaborative work dominates his output, with frequent co-authorship on papers involving elliptic curves, L-functions, and geometric invariants. Theoretical frameworks are often complemented by computational experiments.
