Study group on Galois cohomology
Study group on Galois cohomology
Welcome to this webpage for an informal weekly study group on Galois cohomology organised by Harmeet Singh and myself! The main goal of this study group is to learn the basics of Galois cohomology together and from each other. For more information, including the schedule and some ideas on the structure of this study group, please see this document.
When: Tuesdays 14:00-15:00 (or -16:00)
From 5 March until 12 June 2024
