Tony Scholl does research in arithmetic algebraic geometry. This subject has its roots in classical problems in number theory, which are often easy to formulate but have proved very difficult to solve. Number-theory problems can often be rephrased in terms of geometry, and the subtleties of the resulting geometric structures explored by algebraic means. Tony Scholl has made profound contributions to this research programme, particularly in the theory of L-functions and modular forms.
