Week 1 -- October 26 and October 29
Week 2 -- November 2 and November 5

Week 3 -- Due to a conference the lecturer attends, there will be no live lectures this week. Please work through Section 2.2 of Tian's manuscript yourself along these instructions and with this explanatory Video (password is a permutation of kindDede) plus its notes. Lectures resume on November 16.

Use of eCampus

Please register on eCampus to

• obtain the Zoom link for lectures,
• join exercise session groups,
• upload your solutions for exercise sheets and
• obtain their corrections.

Please note that you additionally have to register on BASIS (both for the lecture and for the exercise session).

Content of the course

The course follows the manuscript of Yichao Tian. Its content may roughly be divided into three parts:
1. Basic properties of integral rings of number fields, decomposition of primes in extensions, and Minkowski’s bound of class numbers.
2. Dedekind zeta functions, Dirichlet L-series, distribution of ideals and the residue formula.
3. Non-archimedean fields, adeles and Tate’s thesis.

Exercise session

There are four weekly exercise session groups. It is necessary to join one and to hand in solutions to the weekly sheets to participate in the final exam. Registration for the exercise sessions takes place on eCampus.

Exercise sessions start on Oct 27 and 28, respectively. The first meeting will be a recap of some aspects of algebra such as Galois theory.

Group	Time	Tutor
Group 1	Tuesdays 10:15 am	Lucas Mann
Group 2	Tuesdays 12:15 pm	Axel Kölschbach
Group 3	Wednesdays 10:15 am	Matthias Storzer
Group 4	Wednesdays 12:15 pm	Robin Louis

Examination

The examination will be oral and held over Zoom. The first round of oral exams takes place on March 1 and 2, the second round on March 29 and 30. Detailed information will be sent to all registered (via Basis) students in time.
