Learning objectives
This reading course is devoted to some topics in representation theory and its applications.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Having attended the lecture course "Homological Algebra" is helpful, but not strictly necessary for attending this course.
Program
This year the course is devoted to an introduction to geometric representation theory. We will see how certain algebraic varieties can be used to study algebras and their representations.
The course also includes the lecture series "Geometric Invariant Theory for finite dimensional algebras", 11-15 December 2023, by Professor Charles Paquette of the Royal Military College of Canada, please see https://www.di.univr.it/?ent=seminario&id=6072
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The course is mainly based on the lecture notes "Geometry of representations of algebras" by W. Crawley-Boevey. Students actively participate in the course and deliver a seminar talk.
Learning assessment procedures
Students actively participate in the course and deliver a seminar talk.
Evaluation criteria
The exam aims to verify the ability to read, understand and present advanced topics of representation theory.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The mark is based on the seminar delivered in class and on the active participation in the entire course.
