For the class on Wednesday, November 30th, we read Chapter 0 of the book.
In the Fall semester of 2022, we will study Saito’s Book, Fermat’s Last Theorem: Basic Tools.
If there are interested people, who cannot attend the class in person and would like to attend remotely, we will try to have the course in a hybrid mode. The organizational meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 23 at 10:30 (GMT+3:30), in lecture hall 2 at IPM and online (send me an email to receive the link for the online meeting), where we will discuss the plan of the reading course, and the day and time of the class.
Stay tuned: we will announce weekly reading materials here…
Please head over to the course page for more details.
In the Fall semester of 2020 Dr. Simon Häberli is giving an online course on Algebraic Groups.
Please head over to the course page for more details.

Starting May 4th, 2020, we will begin our new topic, Abelian varieties. We are going to follow three sources. These are:
- B. Bhatt‘s lecture notes.
- J. Milne‘s lecture notes published as Chapter V of the book Arithmetic Geometry by G. Cornell and J. H. Silverman.
- The book by B. Edixhoven, G. van Der Geer and B. Moonen.
Here is the syllabus of our reading course.
The prerequisites are basic knowledge of algebraic geometry, say chapters 2 and 3 of R. Hartshorne’s Algebraic Geometry book, and basic knowledge of group schemes, say W. Waterhouse’s Affine Group Schemes book (that we just finished in this class).
Because of the Covid-19 situation, our class will be held online. If you would like to actively participate in the class, please send me an email and I will add you to our online meeting group. The class takes place on Monday at 4 pm.
