If you will be a UW grad student next year (or have students you
advise), please let me know what *your* personal interest level is
like in the following graduate topics course ideas, some subset of
which the number theory group is considering proposing. Feel free to
respond off-list directly to (wst...@gmail.com) to keep your answers
anonymous. But please respond ASAP, since course proposals are due
Wednesday!
* Ralph Greenberg -- Representation theory of finite groups
* Ralph Greenberg -- Introduction to classical iwasawa theory (theoretical)
* Ralph Greenberg or Craig Citro -- $p$-adic $L$-functions (Craig's
version would be more computational)
* Craig Citro -- Introduction to modular forms
* William Stein -- Advanced problem solving using mathematical
software (graduate level)
* William Stein -- Algorithms for elliptic curves (a first course on
computing with elliptic curves)
* William Stein -- Galois cohomology (systematic treatment of Galois
cohomlogy, from Serre's book; also some Etale cohomology from Mazur's
article).
Thanks!!
