In the course we will discuss some introductory aspects of the local/global theta correspondence for automorphic forms/representation for various dual pairs. One of the objectives will be to prove Waldspurger's formula relating SO(2) periods to L-functions ...
This course is an introduction to intersection theory on algebraic varieties.An important aim of the course is to develop geometric intuition while using the language of schemes developed in the basic algebraic geometry course, thus building a solid foun ...
Algebraic number theory is the study of the properties of solutions of polynomial equations with integral coefficients; Starting with concrete problems, we then introduce more general notions like algebraic number fields, algebraic integers, units, ideal c ...
We will establish the major results in the representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras over the field of complex numbers, and that of the related algebraic groups. ...
This course is a modern exposition of "Duke's Theorems" which describe the distribution of representations of large integers by a fixed ternary quadratic form. It will be the occasion to introduce the students to the adelic language, the theory of automorp ...
