Abstract:
Simple combinatorial objects like error-correcting codes and geometric objects like packings of equal spheres happen to be linked to many interesting questions of number theory and arithmetic geometry. I shall give an introduction into codes and packings, then describe some existing applications of number theory to both, and then discuss open questions and not yet well-enough-developed asymptotic theory of number and function fields.
