Period
II semestre dal Mar 1, 2021 al Jun 11, 2021.
Learning outcomes
The course provides a first introduction to the representation theory of quivers, an important branch of modern algebra with connections to geometry, topology and theoretical physics.
Program
The entire course will be available online. In addition, all the lessons will be held in-class.
Quivers, representations, the path algebra. Categories and functors, module categories. Filtrations: Theorems of Schreier and Jordan-Hoelder. Direct sum decomposition, theorem of Krull-Remak-Schmidt. Homological algebra: pushout, pullback, Ext, complexes, homology.
The course consists of front lessons and classroom exercises. Moreover optional tutoring activities are offered. In particular, weekly home exercises are given. They are individually corrected by a tutor and discussed during the exercise hours.

Examination Methods
The exam consists of a written examination. The mark obtained in the written examination can be improved by the mark obtained for the homework and/or by an optional oral examination. Only students who have passed the written exam will be admitted to the oral examination.
The exam is aimed at verifying the full maturity of demonstrative techniques and the ability to read and understand advanced topics of representation theory.
The assessment methods could change according to the academic rules. The remote mode is however guaranteed for all students who will ask for it in the academic year 2020/21.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
Alternative learning activities
In order to make the study path more flexible, it is possible to request the substitution of some modules with others of the same course of study in Mathematics at the University of Verona (if the educational objectives of the modules to be substituted have already been achieved in the previous career), or with others of the course of study in Mathematics at the University of Trento.Attachments
