Study Group on Serre's "Proprietes Galoisiennes" paper

In this study group we want to present all the details that lead to the proof of Serre's "Surjective Theorem" published in the paper "Proprietees galoisiennes des points d'ordre fini des courbes elliptiques", (1972). The aim is to have a deep understanding of all the theory and the ideas that appear and are behind the paper.
