401-4037-69LO-Minimality and Diophantine ApplicationsW4 KP2VA. Forey
KurzbeschreibungO-minimal structures provide a framework for tame topology as envisioned by Grothendieck. Originally it was mainly a topic of interest for real algebraic geometers. However, since Pila and Wilkie proved their counting theorem for rational points of bounded height, many applications to diophantine and algebraic geometry have been found.
LernzielThe overall goal of this course is to provide an introduction to o-minimality and to prove results needed for diophantine applications.
InhaltThe first part of the course will be devoted to the definition of o-minimal structures and to prove the cell decomposition theorem, which is crucial for describing the shape of subsets of an o-minimal structure. In the second part of the course, we will prove the Pila-Wilkie counting theorem. The last part will be devoted to diophantine applications, with the proof by Pila and Zanier of the Manin-Mumford conjecture and, if time permit, a sketch of the proof by Pila of the André-Oort conjecture for product of modular curves.

401-4531-69LFour-ManifoldsW4 KP2VG. Smirnov
KurzbeschreibungMaking use of theoretical physics methods, Witten came up with a novel approach to four-dimensional smooth structures, which made the constructing of exotic 4-manifolds somewhat routine. Today, Seiberg-Witten theory has become a classical topic in mathematics, which has a variety of applications to complex and symplectic geometry. We will go through some of these applications.
LernzielThis introductory course has but one goal, namely to familiarize the students with the basics in the Seiberg-Witten theory.
InhaltThe course will begin with an introduction to Freedman’s classification theorem for simply-connected topological 4-manifolds. We then will move to the Seiberg-Witten equations and prove the Donaldson theorem of positive-definite intersection forms. Time permitting we may discuss some applications of SW-theory to real symplectic 4-manifolds.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesSome knowledge of homology, homotopy, vector bundles, moduli spaces of something, elliptic operators would be an advantage.
