The modern geometry of numbers
TCC Module: Term 3 2024
Learn the geometry of numbers with a focus on applications in analytic number theory. This course features the opportunity to immediately get involved in research, through the exercise sheet which will aim to guide you as a group through the proof of a new (and in principle publishable) result.
Dates and Times
Students please email me if you want recordings of the lectures. Students are allowed to record the lectures and I can help you with this. This way, when students can ask questions in lectures, I can easily remove that part from the recording. If you particularly don't want to be recorded please let me know!
Lectures 4-5 on Tuesdays and 11-12 on Fridays. Note the Teams meeting only shows one time but will be used for all lectures.
In week 3 (6-10 May) the Tuesday lecture is cancelled and I plan a two hour lecture 11-1 on Friday 10 May.
In week 5 (20-24 May) the Friday lecture is cancelled and I plan a two hour lecture 4-6 on Tuesday 21 May. This lecture is supposed to be a collective discussion with everyone participating, so please let me know if the time doesn’t work for you.
The exercise sheet will be posted by the start of week 2. The mini-deadline (meaning: send me plausible strategies for at least two questions) is 4pm on Tuesday 21 May. The final deadline is 4pm on Tuesday 18 June (i.e. week 9, the Tuesday after the last lecture). For more details see Assessment. For most other things, see Introduction.
