Sommersemester 2008 - Forschungsseminar on Quaternion Algebras



Description

The goal of the seminar is to obtain a thorough understanding of quaternion algebras and to get an idea about the construction of the Galois representation attached to a Hilbert modular form.

In the beginning the arithmetic theory of quaternion algebras will be introduced in detail and will be illustrated by many examples. Then Shimura varieties attached to quaternion algebras will be studied, as well as automorphic forms on them. Hilbert modular forms will be introduced and the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence will be stated. The final lecture will sketch the construction of the Galois representation attached to a Hilbert modular eigenform.


Organisers

Gebhard Böckle, Juan Marcos Cerviño, Lassina Dembélé, Gerhard Frey, Gabor Wiese
