Special Lecture 1
Hélène Esnault
Arithmetic properties of complex local systems.
Abstract: We show some integrality properties of complex local systems on smooth complex quasi-projective varieties which are shown using arithmetic methods (Langlands program). In particular it yields an obstruction of a new kind for a finitely presented group to be the topological fundamental group of a smooth complex quasi-projective variety. (Work in progress with J. de Jong).
Special lecture 2
Phạm Hữu Tiệp
Some applications of group representation theory
Abstract: We will discuss how representation theory and group theory are used to resolve some problems motivated by applications in number theory and algebraic geometry.
Course 1: Introduction to algebraic curves
Đào Văn Thịnh;
This short course covers basic questions on algebraic curves. After some preliminaries, most of the rest of the course focuses on the Riemann-Roch theorem:
dim L(C,D)≥1−g(C)+degD,
where L(C,D) is the vector space of meromorphic functions on a non-singular projective algebraic curve C with poles bounded by a divisor D, and g(C) is the genus of C.
- Some basic concepts and theorems related to projective algebraic curves, main examples: plane curves
- Correspondence between function fields on one variable and nonsingular projective curves
- Rational functions and divisors on projective curves
- State and prove the Riemann-Roch theorem, present some of its applications

Course 2: Jacobian of Curves
Ngô Đắc Tuấn;
In this course we develop the algebraic theory of Jacobians for smooth projective curves. We present the construction, some basic properties and if time permits, we study the case of hyperelliptic curves.
- Divisors, lines bundles on curves.
- The Hilbert schemes of points. Symmetric powers.
- The Picard functor and the construction of Jacobians.
- The theta divisor and self-duality of Jacobians.
- Some examples.

Course 3: Abelian varieties

- Rational maps to abelian varieties,
- Theorem of the cube and applications, symmetric line bundles; projectivity of abelian varieties; structure of n-torsion subgroups. Isogenies.

Course 4: Algebraic groups

- Definitions and basic examples. Group actions, orbits, closed subgroups generated by images of morphisms.
- Structure of connected algebraic groups of dimension one via algebraic curves (this could give a nice application of the lectures on curves)
- The Albanese morphism
- Relation to the Jacobian.
