Introductory course in Algebraic Geometry

Tony EZOME

Summary:  I started by recalling the needed background from commutative algebra (noetherian modules and rings, finitely generated algebras, Hilbert basis theorem, integral/algebraic elements in a ring/field extension, transcendence degree of a field extension, the algebraic closure of a field) with useful exercice sessions.

On the Theorem of Scholtz-Reichardt

Christian Maire

Summary:  In this course one gave the proof of the following result. Theorem. Let p be a prime number, and let G be a p-group. Then there exists a Galois extension K/Q such that G=Gal(K/Q). The course aimed to give the key arguments, and explained the difficulty for p=2. During the last part of the course, I also explained some basic properties regarding class group, and the philosophy of Class Field Theory.

Classical theory of Partial Differential Equations & The Scalar Conservation Law

Mohamed MBEHOU

Summary: These notes are intended for first-year Master students. After having strengthened their knowledge on ordinary differential equations, students get in touch with partial differential equations and some of the methods and problems related to them. At the same time, it is hoped to strengthen the knowledge and skills of students in mathematical analysis. Learning basics techniques to solve first and second-order PDEs.

Algebraic and Geometric Methods in Coding Theory.

Sudhir GHORPADE

Summary:  The course covered the following topics: 

Linear Codes associated to higher dimensional varieties:

Geometric approach to linear codes via the language of projective systems. The following specific classes of linear codes and some of their fundamental properties including determination of basic parameters will be discussed. 

  • Codes associated to Veronese varieties (Projective Reed-Muller Codes)
  • Grassmann codes
  • Schubert codes

Betti numbers of linear codes and matroids:
