Math 470: Summer Reading Seminar
Organiser: Henri Darmon.
Time: Mondays from 2:00-4:00, in BH 1120.
This seminar is aimed
at advanced undergraduate students wishing to cover in depth
a topic
that lies somewhat outside the standard curriculum.
On this page I will keep a record of any notes or materials
that are supplied by the participants, as well as general announcements about our meetings.
Participants:
Loic Boucher-Dubuc. The general theory of elliptic curves following the classicl textbook of Silverman.
Sydney Chenier. Complex analysis, following the textbook by Dan Romik.
Masha Glasman. The general theory of elliptic curves,
following the classic textbook of Silverman.
Nicholas Hayek. Elliptic curves over finite
fields and supersingular isogeny graphs.
- The seminar of June 2 will be moved to Wednesday June 4.
Sydney will present what she's learned on complex variables in the first hour. Masha and Nicholas will explain how the Riemann Roch theorem implies that an elliptic curve is described by a specific kind of cubix equation in two variables.
On June 9 and June 16, I will be out of town and there will be no seminar. The participants are encouraged to get together during this time to discuss their
progress and share their insights.
