Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We will study the following selected topics in algebraic number theory: the calculation of fundamental units in real quadratic number fields, extensions of Dedekind domains, cyclotomic fields and the Dedekind zeta function. For further information (in German) go to http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~baxa/ss2012se.html

Assessment and permitted materials

The grade is determined by the quality of the student's talks and his or her participation in the discussion of others' talks.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The seminar will offer students, who attended an introductory class on algebraic number theory, an opportunity to broaden their knowledge in this field.

Examination topics

Participants will present the material in individual talks. (Each participant will be assigned sections from the literature we study and will be given support when preparing the presentation.) A preliminary schedule of talks will be agreed on at an introductory meeting on March 5, 2012.
