MATH-494: Topics in arithmetic geometry

P-adic numbers are a number theoretic analogue of the real numbers, which interpolate between arithmetics, analysis and geometry. In this course we study their basic properties and give various applications, notably we will prove rationality of the Weil Ze ...

Description

This lecture covers the concept of ramified extensions and their relation to Eisenstein polynomials. Starting with an introduction to OneNote for Windows 10, the instructor explains the process of creating ramified and non-ramified extensions. The lecture delves into the specifics of different types of extensions, such as unramified and topologically ramified ones, and their applications in covering situations and generating covers. By examining examples and roots of Eisenstein polynomials, the lecture illustrates the significance of these extensions in various mathematical contexts.

Ramification (mathematics)

In geometry, ramification is 'branching out', in the way that the square root function, for complex numbers, can be seen to have two branches differing in sign. The term is also used from the opposite perspective (branches coming together) as when a covering map degenerates at a point of a space, with some collapsing of the fibers of the mapping. Branch point In complex analysis, the basic model can be taken as the z → zn mapping in the complex plane, near z = 0.

Branched covering

In mathematics, a branched covering is a map that is almost a covering map, except on a small set. In topology, a map is a branched covering if it is a covering map everywhere except for a nowhere dense set known as the branch set. Examples include the map from a wedge of circles to a single circle, where the map is a homeomorphism on each circle. In algebraic geometry, the term branched covering is used to describe morphisms from an algebraic variety to another one , the two dimensions being the same, and the typical fibre of being of dimension 0.

Windows 10

Windows 10 is a major release of Microsoft's Windows NT operating system. It is the direct successor to Windows 8.1, which was released nearly two years earlier. It was released to manufacturing on July 15, 2015, and later to retail on July 29, 2015. Windows 10 was made available for download via MSDN and TechNet, as a free upgrade for retail copies of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users via the Windows Store, and to Windows 7 users via Windows Update.

Windows 10 editions

Windows 10 has several editions, all with varying feature sets, use cases, or intended devices. Certain editions are distributed only on devices directly from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), while editions such as Enterprise and Education are only available through volume licensing channels. Microsoft also makes editions of Windows 10 available to device manufacturers for use on specific classes of devices, including IoT devices and previously marketed Windows 10 Mobile for smartphones.

Windows 10 Mobile

Windows 10 Mobile is a discontinued mobile operating system developed by Microsoft. First released in 2015, it is a successor to Windows Phone 8.1, but was marketed by Microsoft as being an edition of its PC operating system Windows 10. Windows 10 Mobile aimed to provide greater consistency with its counterpart for PCs, including more extensive synchronization of content, Universal Windows Platform apps, as well as the capability, on supported hardware, to connect devices to an external display and use a desktop interface with mouse and keyboard input support (reminiscent of Windows on PCs).
