Abstracts

Discrete Geometry:
Polytopes are ubiquitous objects in mathematics appearing in different areas such as discrete
geometry, optimization, algebraic geometry and more.  In the first two lectures of the course,
we will introduce polyopes, their combinatorial structure and geometric properties. 
The third lecture will provide a quick introduction to Ehrhart theory and how to count lattice
points of polytopes.  The two main references are 
- "Computing the continuous discretely", M. Beck and S. Robins, Undergraduate Texts in
Mathematics, Springer, 2015.
- "Lecture on polytopes", G. Ziegler, Graduate Texts in Mathematics vol. 152, Springer-Verlag,
1995.

Introduction to Homological Algebra:


Homological algebra serves as an extremely important tool in many areas of mathematics.
Originating in algebraic topology, its influence now includes to commutative algebra,
representation theory and algebraic geometry to name only a few. In this course we shall
introduce the basic objects and concepts of homological algebra including chain complexes,
homology and resolutions. We shall work with modules over a ring, however almost
everything of what we will see applies more generally in abelian categories, which we shall
also touch on. Our main references are the books by J. Rotman and C. Weibel, both called
"An introduction to homological algebra”.

Quiver Representations:
A quiver is a directed graph and and a representation is defined by a vector space for each
vertex and a linear map for each arrow.
The theory of quivers and their representations builds on basic linear algebra and touches
areas of mathematics such as representation theory, finite dimensional algebras and
algebraic geometry. In this course will introduce quiver, their representations and path
algebras. Our main aim will be to state Gabriel's Theorem, classifying quivers whose
representations have certain finiteness properties, and to understand elements of the proof.
