[Klemens Katterbauer]

Dear visitors of the DissKoll (Dissertantenkolloquium),

Steffen Kionke (University of Vienna) will talk about "
A short trip to the land of arithmetic groups".

Steffen Kionke
A short trip to the land of arithmetic groups
Abstract:

What is an arithmetic group and how to study them?
The objective of the talk is to introduce basic ideas in the study of
arithmetic groups, using typical examples of such groups. Departing
from Dirichlet's unit theorem, we will obtain ideas how to analyze
groups of units of orders in more general cases. (The talk is intended
to be understandable with only a basic knowlegde of algebra.)

Thursday, December 2, 2010, 17:15, Room C 2.07
Coffee and cakes served from 17:00 in the Common Room C 2.06
