Brauer groups and Galois cohomology
Termine und Zeiten:
Vorlesungen: Montag, 16-18 ct, Raum B 046.Übungen: Dienstag, 16-18 ct, Raum B 046.
Zusammenfassung:
This course follows the book by Gille and Szamuely and introduces central simple algebras and the Brauer group. We will explore their connections to Galois cohomology and Severi–Brauer varieties.Voraussetzung:
This course will be of interest to Master students majoring in Algebra. I will assume that the students are familiar with Algebra I & II courses. Knowledge of Algebraic Geometry is not strictly required, but will be helpful. The course will be taught in English.Literatur:
