Contents

From [MAT-43-22-K-7] Algebraic Number Theory:
  • global fields,
  • modules over Dedekind domain,
  • valuation and completion,
  • integral elements and orders.

Competencies / intended learning achievements

Upon successful completion of this module, the students are familiarized with the basic concepts and methods of modern number theory. They have studied global fields and their completion and understand how these structures are related. In addition, they are able to deal independently with algorithmic problems of global fields and finite extensions.

By completing the given exercises, the students have developed a skilled, precise and independent handling of the terms, propositions and techniques taught in the lecture. They are able to name the essential propositions of the lecture as well as to classify and to explain the connections. They understand the proofs presented in the lecture and are able to comprehend and explain them. In particular, they are able to outline the conditions and assumptions that are necessary for the validity of the statements.
