Learning outcomes
The aim of the seminar course is to provide the student with a first introduction to algebraic geometry, including the relevant parts of commutative algebra. At the end of the course the student will be able to deal with the basics of Gröbner basis theory and its basic applications, as well as with finite fields and cryptosystems, both elliptic and non-elliptic.
Program
1) The Geometry-Algebra Dictionary: Ideals in Polynomial Rings, Affine Algebraic Sets, Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz, Irreducible Algebraic Sets, Noether Normalization, Dimension of a Variety.
2) Gröbner Bases and Applications: Monomial Orders, Division Algorithm in Multivariate Polynomial Rings, Buchberger’s Algorithm, Elimination Theory, Some Application of Gröbner Bases.
3) Finite fields and cryptography.
4) Elliptic Cryptosystems: Elliptic Curves, Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems.
