Algebraic Number Theory 2
The course is a continuation of Gabor Wiese’s course. The central topic will be class field theory. We will start with local class field theory, following the approach of Lubin and Tate to explicitly construct the ‘‘reciprocity map’‘ using formal groups. In the second part of the course we will discuss global class field theory using cohomological methods.
Dates: Tue, 10-12, T03 R04 D10; Fri, 10-12, T03 R04 D10. The course starts on Tuesday, April 13.
Exercise sessions: There will be weekly exercise sessions (provisional date: Mon, 16-18, start: April 19).
Prerequisites: Algebraic Number Theory as covered in Gabor Wiese’s course (Global theory: finiteness of the ideal class group; Dirichlet’s unit theorem; ramification … Local theory: valuations, Hensel’s lemma)
