PHYS-726: Introduction to Frustrated MagnetismTo provide an introduction to all aspects of the rapidly evolving field of frustrated magnetism:
- New paradigms: spin liquids, spin ice, topological order, ...
- Basic models and methods
- Experi
CIVIL-522: Seismic engineeringThis course deals with the main aspects of seismic design and assessment of buildings including conceptual design. It covers different structural design and evaluation philosophies for new and existin
MATH-317: Algebra V - Galois theoryGalois theory lies at the interface of Field Theory and Group Theory. It aims to describe the algebraic symmetries of fields. We will focus on Galois theory for finite field extensions and some applic
MATH-506: Topology IV.b - cohomology ringsSingular cohomology is defined by dualizing the singular chain complex for spaces. We will study its basic properties, see how it acquires a multiplicative structure and becomes a graded commutative a
MATH-613: Abelian varietiesThis will be a basic course on abelian varieties. We will start with the analytic point of view, and then we will pass on to the algebraic one. A basic knowledge of differential geometry and algebraic
MATH-643: Applied l-adic cohomologyIn this course we will describe in numerous examples how methods from l-adic cohomology as developed by Grothendieck, Deligne and Katz can interact with methods from analytic number theory (prime numb
