Courses
The
following full-year graduate courses
are offered in alternating
years:
- analytic
number theory (Math 675/775) (taught in 2009 by Hugh Montgomery)
and
- algebraic
number theory and class
field theory (Math 676/776) (to be taught in 2010-2011)
We also offer
a range of courses on advanced
topics in number theory. In Fall 2009, Kartik Prasanna is teaching a course on Iwasawa theory.
In Winter 2010, Jeff Lagarias will teach a course on Diophantine approximation, and Michael Zieve will teach
a course on the arithmetic of dynamical systems.
Previous year's topics include:
elliptic curves, Diophantine
problems, Hida theory, transcendence
theory, spectral theory of
modular forms, Galois representations
and modular forms, and automorphic
forms on algebraic groups.
Seminars
- Group Theory/Lie Theory/Number
Theory: Weekly
research seminar with
speakers from around the world on topics in number
theory and related areas.
- Special lecture series:
Annual event in which a distinguished visitor gives three talks on a current
research topic in number theory. In Winter 2010,
Matt Baker will lecture
on applications of potential theory on the Berkovich projective line to
problems in arithmetic dynamics.
- Learning
seminar: Weekly student
lectures on a common
theme under guidance
of faculty for the duration
of the year. Past topics
include Gross-Zagier
formula, Shimura varieties,
torsion in elliptic curves,
complex multiplication
in abelian varieties,
and Serre's conjecture.
- Student
Arithmetic Seminar: Student
organized; lectures by
graduate students.
