Summer School 2009

Clay Mathematics Institute 2009 Summer School

Galois Representations

June 15 - July 10, 2009

University of Hawaii at Manoa
Honolulu, Hawaii

The aim of these courses is to give a sense of basic principles, with enough discussion of foundations, motivations, examples, and important applications to provide a coherent overview of how the subject is developing and is likely to be relevant in future advances in the theory of Galois representations. Precise background requirements and preparatory reading lists will be posted at a later time. Courses 1 and 2 will be given "side by side", with Course 3 relying on material presented in these courses and following a little later in the program. Each course consists of 15 lectures, split between two lecturers as listed below. A partial aim of the summer school is to make it easier for students to delve into the literature on their own afterwards.
