Course description and aims
In number theory, L-functions are associated with various arithmetic objects. In this course, we explain the interpretation of L-functions based on Galois representations and discuss important results/conjectures on them. This course together with "Advanced Course in Algebra C1" given in the 3Q forms one set of contents. Advanced topics (Dwork theory, modularity) are dealt with in the latter half "D1".
Student learning outcomes
Students are expected to:
- understand the proof of analyticity of the L-functions of φ-modules by Dwork theory.
- understand the notion of modularity of an L-function, and the proof of the modularity in the 1-dimensional case.
Keywords
L-function, Galois representation, modularity, φ-module, Dwork theory
