Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is an introduction into the local and global representation-theory of reductive groups over number fields. Special focus will be on jointly developing the basics of a theory of smooth automorphic representations with the guidance of the course instructor. To this end we will firstly present/recall the “local theory” (= representation-theory of local groups such as for instance GL(n,Q_p)) in a condensed way, followed by a more speculative “global part” of the course (= smooth automorphic representation-theory). This “global part” shall be held in form of an open discussion, in which various ideas and approaches will be presented and jointly discussed by the participants. The outcome of this course shall be collected in joint seminar lecture-notes.

Assessment and permitted materials

The assessment has two components: An oral one (by contributing to the general discussion, in particular during the "global part") and a written one (by compiling a part of the joint lecture-notes in LaTeX). You may use all of the literature, specific to the topic, as well as the internet (e.g., mathoverflow).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The minimum requirements for a positive grade are: (i) an active contribution to the discussion during the "global part" of the seminar and (ii) writing notes of a part of the lectures. The contribution to the discussion will account for 60%, compiling some lecture-notes for 40%. Attendance is compulsory, but up to two absences without notice are permitted.
