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

The interaction of Analysis and Differential Geometry has led to some of the most striking achievements of mathematics during the last few decades. Analytic approaches to problems in Riemannian, pseudo-Riemannian or complex geometry and topology has given rise to very powerful tools in analysis.

The school will present different aspects of computational methods in commutative algebras and algebraic geometry and their applications in various branches of mathematics, to introduce students and young researchers who can apply these methods in their work. Furthermore this will create an opportunity to establish a network of mathematicians from the region for collaboration on joint research projects with possibility of connections with leading experts on the subject.

The overall aim is to spread Modern Representation Theory of Finite Dimensional Algebras, and its fascinating links to major mathematical subjects, to young mathematicians from developing countries.
