  • Feb 1, 2009, Leuven: Advanced Methods in Cryptography
    Master level course on cryptography
  • Feb 3, 2009, Leiden: Algebraic Geometry
    Riemann's zeta function has a natural generalisation to zeta functions associated to finitely generated (commutative) rings, and more generally, to schemes of finite type. For nonsingular projective curves over finite fields the Riemann hypothesis has been proven by Hasse (elliptic curves) and Weil (arbitrary genus, 1940's). The case of higher dimensional varieties over finite fields was proved by Deligne (1974), building on the work of Grothendieck. In this course we will treat the case of curves over finite fields, using intersection theory on surfaces. The course will start with some explicit examples of zeta functions, including Riemann's and those of curves over finite fields. Then slowly we will develop those techniques necessary to treat Weil's proof, from Hartshorne's book Algebraic Geometry. Finally, we will present Weil's proof. Our goal is to provide a good overview of Weil's proof. Obviously, it is not desirable nor possible to treat all of Hartshorne's book.

  • Sep 1, 2009, Bordeaux: Seminar in Number Theory
    Weekly seminar in Number theory
  • Sep 1, 2009, Bordeaux: colloquium
    Colloquium de mathématiques de Bordeaux
  • Sep 8, 2009, Leiden: Elliptic Curves
    Elliptic curves are fundamental objects in a large part of mathematics. Along various historical paths, their origins can be traced to calculus, complex analysis and algebraic geometry, and their arithmetic aspects have made them key objects in modern cryptography and in Wiles' proof of Fermat's last theorem. This course is an introduction to the algebraic, geometric, complex analytic and number theoretical aspects of the theory of elliptic curves.
