Class Objectives
/Class Outline
In the theory of algebraic varieties, many peculiar phenomena occur when the characteristic of the base field is positive.
Behind these phenomena, there is always a "purely inseparable extension of a field”.
When a purely inseparable field extension is involved, Galois theory in field extensions cannot be applied, but it is possible to develop analogous theories using tools such as derivations and group schemes. This will greatly advance research into varieties and singularities specific to positive characteristic.
Through these lectures, I will introduce the world specific to positive characteristic.
 
Class Schedule 1. Purely inseparable field extensions, Galois and Jacobson-Bourbaki correspondence
2. Algebraic surfaces in positive characteristics
3. Finite group scheme actions and their quotients
4. Further topics, unification of wild group and group scheme actions
