Number theory learning seminar 2013-2014

The seminar will meet Wednesdays 2--4pm in Room 383-N . This year's seminar will focus on the Jacquet--Langlands correspondence. In the fall we will discuss representation theory in local and global aspects (and its relation with classical settings), in the winter we will discuss the trace formula and prove the Jacquet--Langlands correspondence, and in the spring we will discuss some applications to Galois representations.

For more details on what each lecture will cover with references see here .
