Depending on the course.
The focus is on the intensive investigation of a special class of algebraic structures (algebraic groups, Kac-Moody algebras, Hopf algebras) directly related to Lie theory. In addition to structural theory and classification results, links to other theories are also shown.
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- get an insight into a current field of research,
- learn the basic structures and techniques of algebraic Lie theory,
- understand abstract algebraic structures as symmetries,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of abstraction and formulating proofs),
- Improve their oral communication skills in the tutorials by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Basismodulen und in dem Aufbaumodul Algebra vermittelt werden.
Applicability
The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
- B.Sc. Mathematics
- M.Sc. Computer Science
- M.Sc. Mathematics
- LAaG Mathematics
When studying M.Sc. Mathematics, this module can be attended in the study area Specialization Modules in Mathematics.
The module can also be used in other study programs (export module).
Die Wahlmöglichkeit des Moduls ist dadurch beschränkt, dass es der Reinen Mathematics zugeordnet ist.
