Activities in Algebraic Geometry

 

 

Courses (current and recent years):

1997-1998      “Commutative algebra and algebraic geometry” (Algebre 1). UdM. MAT 6608. Lecturer: B. Broer. Automn 97.

 

Topics in Algebra III: “Approaches to the Jacobian Problem”. McGill. 189-  722A. Lecturer: A. Sathaye.

 

1998-1999      “Algebraic surfaces”: A semester course leading to the study of systems of curves on an algebraic surface and the notion of Kodaira dimension for compact and non-compact surfaces.

 

“Algebraic Curves”. McGill. 189-612B. Lecturer: J. Hurtubise.

 

1999-2000      A year long course in algebraic geometry, from classical theory to schemes is offered by McGill. The course is aimed at the graduate, or advanced undergraduate level. It is called “Topics in Geometry and Topology 189-706A/707B”. Pre-requisites are some basic algebra and topology. For more details go here.

 

The graduate students seminar is devoted this year to Faltings’  Theorems. The proofs involve sophisticated tools from arithmetic algebraic geometry and algebraic number theory.
