My name is Alexey Beshenov (Алексей Бешéнов), and this is my personal webpage.
Here you can find my mathematical texts, teaching materials, etc.
About me
As a mathematician, I am interested in number theory and arithmetic geometry, zeta functions of schemes and conjectures about their special values, in particular Lichtenbaum’s Weil-étale program.
I am also passionate about teaching and popularisation of mathematics.
Here is some additional information:

Work and education
I spent 2019–2020 at Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT), Guanajuato, Mexico, as a visiting researcher at the group of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. My hosts were Xavier Gómez Mont and Pedro Luis del Ángel.
I am also interested in teaching and outreach. In 2018–2019 I took a “gap year” to visit the University of El Salvador by invitation of the Ministry of Education.
I obtained my PhD from University of Bordeaux and Leiden University in December 2018 with a thesis “Zeta-values of arithmetic schemes at negative integers and Weil-étale cohomology”. I was supported by the ALGANT-DOC scholarship of the European Union. My supervisor in Bordeaux was Baptiste Morin, and my supervisor in Leiden was Bas Edixhoven.
I did my master studies in 2012–2014 in the University of Milan and University of Bordeaux under the ALGANT program. My advisor was Boas Erez.
Before that, I obtained my first M.Sc. in theoretical computer science from the University of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia. My advisor was Dmitrii Pasechnik.
My BSc was in programming / computer engineering.
