Course on Geometric Satake isomorphism, spring 2014

Lecturer

Xue Ting
 

Scope

5 sp.

Type

Advanced studies

Prerequisites

Basic algebra. 

Description

This course aims to give an introduction to the geometric Satake isomorphism, which

is a first instance of geometric Langlands duality. The tentative topics of the course will

include the following: 

  • Basic introduction to affine algebraic groups, root datum, Borel subgroups, flag variety
  • Structure properties of reductive algebraic groups
  • Tannakian formalism, recovering a group from its representations 
  • Introduction to derived categories, perverse sheaves 
  • Affine Grassmannian 
  • Geometric Satake isomorphism

The topics might vary depending on the interest of the audience.
