Algebraic curves over finite fields

Lecturer: Christophe RITZENTHALER

Abstract

This mini-course is a motivated introduction to the problematic of number of rational points on curves over finite fields. It will serve as a pretext to introduce the basics of algebraic geometry (Nullstellensatz, projective geometry,...) with a far-away open problem in mind (distribution of the number of points on genus 4 curves). We will in particular try to reduce the number of coefficients of these curves to be able to run some experiments with a computer.

Introduction to real dynamical systems with applications

Jorge Mozo Fernández

Summary: The idea of this course is to give an introduction to the theory of real dynamical systems from scratch, focusing on the main elements of qualitative theory: equilibria, periodic orbits, limit cycles, … An outline of the contents is as follows:
