CS-423: Distributed information systemsThis course introduces the foundations of information retrieval, data mining and knowledge bases, which constitute the foundations of today's Web-based distributed information systems.
MATH-680: Monstrous moonshineThe monstrous moonshine is an unexpected connection between the Monster group and modular functions. In the course we will explain the statement of the conjecture and study the main ideas and concepts
MATH-803: Young Algebraists' Conference 2021The summer school comprises of two mini-courses with the following topics:
- Introduction to the modular representation theory of finite groups
- Schur-Weyl duality and categorification
MATH-679: Group schemesThis is a course about group schemes, with an emphasis on structural theorems for algebraic groups (e.g. Barsotti--Chevalley's theorem). All the basics will be covered towards the proof of such theore
MATH-735: Topics in geometric group theoryThe goal of this course/seminar is to introduce the students to some contemporary aspects of geometric group theory. Emphasis will be put on Artin's Braid groups and Thompson's groups.
