Mathematical Activities

Paul Vojta is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.

His mathematical areas of interest include:

• Diophantine approximation
• Nevanlinna theory, especially as related to diophantine approximation
• Arakelov theory

His curriculum vitae and bibliography are available on-line. The latter contains links to TeX or PostScript copies of some of his papers. A list of his arXiv submissions is available at http://arxiv.org/a/vojta_p_1 .

Copies of the lecture notes and slides from his 2007 CIME course on diophantine approximation and Nevanlinna theory are available here.

Programming Activities

Prof. Vojta has written the following programs:

• For TeX:
  • xdvi -- a previewer for .dvi files under the X Window System
  • gsftopk -- a utility for converting PostScript fonts into .pk format
• For linux:
  • qconfig -- a configuration program for the kernel. (Not useful for current kernels.)
• hpvptyd -- a daemon for driving ethernet printers using software for serial printers.
• For DOS:
  • calvin -- a small, partial clone of the Unix vi command, available with source code in C and assembler code. There is also a calvin home page.
  • comp -- a clone of the DOS command of the same name, contributed to the FreeDOS project
  • debug -- a clone of the DOS command of the same name, written for the FreeDOS project
