401-4116-12L	Lectures on Drinfeld Modules	W	6 KP	3V	R. Pink
Kurzbeschreibung	Drinfeld modules: Basic theory, analytic uniformization, moduli spaces, good/bad/semistable reduction, Tate modules, Galois representations, endomorphism rings, etc.
Lernziel
Inhalt	A central role in the arithmetic of fields of positive characteristic p is played by the Frobenius map x ---> x^p. The theory of Drinfeld modules exploits this map in a systematic fashion. Drinfeld modules of rank 1 can be viewed as analogues of the multiplicative group and are used in the class field theory of global function fields. Drinfeld modules of arbitrary rank possess a rich theory which has many aspects in common with that of elliptic curves, including analytic uniformization, moduli spaces, good/bad/semistable reduction, Tate modules, Galois representations. A full understanding of Drinfeld modules requires some knowledge in the arithmetic of function fields and, for comparison, the arithmetic of elliptic curves, which cannot all be presented in the framework of this course. Relevant results from these areas will be presented only cursorily when they are needed, but a fair amount of the theory can be developed without them.

401-4118-21L	Spectral Theory of Hyperbolic Surfaces	W	4 KP	2V	C. Burrin
Kurzbeschreibung	The Laplacian plays a prominent role in many parts of mathematics. On a flat surface like the torus, understanding its spectrum is the topic of Fourier analysis, whose 19th century development allowed to solve the heat and wave equations. On the sphere, one studies spherical harmonics. In this course, we will study the spectrum of hyperbolic surfaces and its Maass forms (eigenfunctions).
Lernziel	We will start from scratch, with an overview of hyperbolic geometry and harmonic analysis on the hyperbolic plane. The objectives are to prove the spectral theorem and Selberg's trace formula, and explore applications in geometry and number theory.
Inhalt	Tentative syllabus: Hyperbolic geometry (the hyperbolic plane and Fuchsian groups) Construction of arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces Harmonic analysis on the hyperbolic plane The spectral theorem Selberg's trace formula Applications in geometry (isoperimetric inequalities, geodesic length spectrum) and number theory (links to the Riemann zeta function and Riemann hypothesis) Possible further topics (if time permits): Eisenstein series Explicit constructions of Maass forms (after Maass) A special case of the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence (after the exposition of Bergeron, see references)

401-4206-17L	Groups Acting on Trees	W	6 KP	3G	B. Brück
Kurzbeschreibung	As a main theme, we will see how an action of a group on a tree enables us to break the group into smaller pieces, and thus gain better understanding of its structure.
Lernziel	Learn basics of Bass-Serre theory; get to know concepts from geometric group theory.
Inhalt	As a mathematical object, a tree is a graph without any loops. It turns out that if a group acts on such an object, the algebraic structure of the group has a nice description in terms of the combinatorics of the graph. In particular, groups acting on trees can be decomposed in a certain way into simpler pieces.These decompositions can be described combinatorially, but are closely related to concepts from topology such as fundamental groups and covering spaces. This interplay between (elementary) concepts of algebra, combinatorics and geometry/topology is typical for geometric group theory. The course can also serve as an introduction to basic concepts of this field. Topics that will be covered in the lecture include: - Trees and their automorphisms - Different characterisations of free groups - Amalgamated products and HNN extensions - Graphs of groups - Kurosh's theorem on subgroups of free (amalgamated) products

In particular, the standard material of the first two years of the Mathematics Bachelor is sufficient.

Lernziel	The aim of this lecture course is to give an introduction to knot theory. In the course we will discuss the definition of a knot and what is meant by equivalence. The focus of the course will be on knot invariants. We will consider various knot invariants amongst which we will also find the so called knot polynomials. In doing so we will again and again show how this knowledge can be transferred down to secondary school.

401-4422-21L	An Introduction to the Calculus of Variations	W	4 KP	2V	A. Figalli
Kurzbeschreibung	Calculus of variations is a fundamental tool in mathematical analysis, used to investigate the existence, uniqueness, and properties of minimizers to variational problems. Classic examples include, for instance, the existence of the shortest curve between two points, the equilibrium shape of an elastic membrane, and so on.

Inhalt	In the course, we will study both 1-dimensional and multi-dimensional problems.
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes	Basic knowledge of Sobolev spaces is important, so some extra additional readings would be required for those unfamiliar with the topic.
401-3378-19L	Entropy in Dynamics	W	8 KP	4G	M. Einsiedler
Kurzbeschreibung	Definition and basic property of measure theoretic dynamical entropy (elementary and conditionally). Ergodic theorem for entropy. Topological entropy and variational principle. Measures of maximal entropy. Equidistribution of periodic points. Measure rigidity for commuting maps on the circle group.
Lernziel	The course will lead to a firm understanding of measure theoretic dynamical entropy and its applications within dynamics. We will start with the basic properties of (conditional) entropy, relate it to the question of effective coding techniques, discuss and prove the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem that is also known as the ergodic theorem for entropy. Moreover, we will discuss a topological counter part and relate this topological entropy to the measure theoretic entropy by the variational principle. We will use these methods to classify certain natural homogeneous measures, prove equidistribution of periodic points on compact quotients of hyperbolic surfaces, and establish a measure rigidity theorem for commuting maps on the circle group.
Skript	Entropy book under construction, available online under https://tbward0.wixsite.com/books/entropy
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes	No prior knowledge of dynamical systems will be assumed but measure theory will be assumed and very important. Doctoral students are welcome to attend the course for 2KP.
