Recent papers:
- Two papers showing that large ranks are ubiquitous over function fields and that small ranks in towers of function fields also occur:
  - L-functions with large analytic rank and abelian varieties with large algebraic rank over function fields. To appear in Inventiones Mathematicae.
  - Jacobi sums, Fermat Jacobians, and ranks of abelian varieties over towers of function fields.
- A survey on Function fields and random matrices for the June 2004 workshop at the Newton Institute. Here are the references.

Reviews of my articles.
From 1997 through 2006 I was the director of the Southwestern Center for Arithmetical Algebraic Geometry

Etc.:

Slides from a lecture at “Dialog 04” about the Southwestern Center as an example of a large, multi-institutional project that uses NSF funding in innovative and efficient ways.
Slides from a lecture at the October, 2004 meeting of the AMS Committee on Education about Long-term efforts toward VIGRE goals at the University of Arizona.
The main thing I did on my 1997-98 sabbatical.
Subsequent developments in that direction.
