Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this seminar on Algebra we want to

- to work on and explore one common topic from the field of algebra to which all participants contribute with their talks

- in doing so we want to comply with the preparation and the previous knowledge of the participants.

In the first place the seminar adresses students who finished their bachelor, i.e. beginnning master students; in particular, prerequisites are elementary number theory
and Algebra 1,2. If participants happen to have more knowledge (e.g. from algebraic number theory) it is possible
to explore further topics from the field of algebra/number theory.

A description of possible themes for the seminar can be found in the moodle account corresponding to the seminar (2021W 250007-1 Seminar: Algebra)

a. Field theory (prerequisites Algebra 1,2): We want to explore the structure of algebraic and not necessarily algebraic field extensions in more detail. This
needs more methods and tools from Algebra beyond the content of Algebra 1,2 which generally are of fundamental
importance (tensor product of modules, Derivations and Differentials). Applications include the structure theorem for normal extensions, Galois theory for inseparable extensions, methods for computing Galois groups, Dimension of fields, ...

b. Quadratic forms (prerequisites Algebra 1,2). Topics are classification of quadratic forms, Witt ring of a field k (this is an algebraic invariant of k), structure of orthogonal and symplectic groups, Clifford algebras and Spin groups.

c. Algebraic curves (prerequisites: Algebra 1,2, basic topology, complex and multivariable analysis). Literature: F. Kirwan "Complex algebraic curves"

Previous knowledge of participants and the seminar's topic will be discussed in the first meeting on 4th of October.
