Hilbert modular varieties

课程介绍 / Description

Hilbert modular varieties are the moduli spaces of abelian varieties with multiplication by an order in a totally real number field and generalize modular curves. They provide beautiful examples of algebraic varieties that display fascinating connections to number theory. The course intends to give a survey of the theory with special attention to the case of Hilbert modular surfaces.

The course will signalize open problems and research challenges.

Reference: Literature will be given at the course.

Target audience: graduate students
