MATH 737: Algebraic
Number Theory (Fall 2004)
Instructor:
Shankar Sen
Meeting
Time & Room
This is to some extent a continuation of an earlier course,
but an attempt will be made to make it understandable to those who have
had a first course in Algebraic Number Theory and some knowledge of Galois
theory.
Topics to be covered:
-
An overview of global class field theory. (Detailed proofs of some
standard facts covered in an earlier course will not be
given.)
-
Local methods (involving p-adic numbers): explicit reciprocity
laws, new aspects of Kummer theory... The precise choice of topics
is not fixed in advance.
