MATH-489: Number theory II.c - CryptographyThe goal of the course is to introduce basic notions from public key cryptography (PKC) as well as basic number-theoretic methods and algorithms for cryptanalysis of protocols and schemes based on PKC
MATH-658: Vanishing cycles and perverse sheavesThis course will explain the theory of vanishing cycles and perverse sheaves. We will see how the Hard Lefschetz theorem can be proved using perverse sheaves. If we have more time we will try to see t
MATH-657: Deformation TheoryWe will study classical and modern deformation theory of schemes and coherent sheaves. Participants should have a solid background in scheme-theory, for example being familiar with the first 3 chapter
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
MATH-645: Young Topologists Meeting Mini-CoursesWe expect these mini-courses to equip junior researchers with new tools, techniques, and perspectives for attacking a broad range of questions in their own areas of research while also inspiring stude
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
