Schedule On: Monday 16-18, in: Kaplun 319.
The aim of the seminar is to learn the classification of quadratic forms over the field of rational numbers Q, and in particular, to learn the proof of the Hasse-Minkowski theorem. In order to do that, we shall learn the structure of the field of p-adic numbers Qp and the classification of quadratic forms over Qp. See the syllabus below.Contact me at: borovoi@post.tau.ac.il.
