Hao Peng

(You are welcome to call me Harry)

I am a graudate student at department of mathematics, MIT, starting from Fall 2021. My advisor is Wei Zhang. Before that, I was an undergraduate student at deparment of mathematics, Peking University.

I am interested in arithmetic geometry and number theory. More specificly, I study integral solutions of a system of polynomial equations with integer coefficients, or equivalently, I study K-groups and motives over number fields. In my leisure time, I am writing notes, snowboarding and taking road trips.

Expositary notes

Skyscraper project . The purpose of this project is to lay foundation for what I care about(mostly arithmetic theory of automorphic forms for now), as well as to simplify proofs and to sharpen theorems. This project is still in a primary stage. All notes I have written is contained in here. Currently it contains about 2900 pages, so it might take a while to open.
Hecke L-function for Imaginary Quadratic Fields . A note prepared for reading course on analytic number theory with high school students.
