Brauer's theorem on forms

In mathematics, Brauer's theorem, named for Richard Brauer, is a result on the representability of 0 by forms over certain fields in sufficiently many variables. (Wikipedia).

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus | Algebraic Calculus One | Wild Egg

In this video we lay out the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus --from the point of view of the Algebraic Calculus. This key result, presented here for the very first time (!), shows how to generalize the Fundamental Formula of the Calculus which we presented a few videos ago, incorporating t

Modular forms: Petersson inner product

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We define the Petersson inner product on modular forms and use it to show that the eigenforms of the Hecke algebra span the space of modular forms. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com/playli

Persistence of the Brauer-Manin obstruction under field extension - Viray - Workshop 2 - CEB T2 2019

Bianca Viray (University of Washington) / 27.06.2019 Persistence of the Brauer-Manin obstruction under field extension. We consider the question of when an empty Brauer set over the ground field gives rise to an empty Brauer set over an extension. We first consider the case of quartic d

Complex numbers and algebra | Math History | NJ Wildberger

Complex numbers of the form a+bi are mostly introduced these days in the context of quadratic equations, but according to Stillwell cubic equations are closer to their historical roots. We show how the cubic equation formula of del Ferro, Tartaglia and Cardano requires some understanding o

The André-Oort conjecture follows from the Colmez conjecture - Jacob Tsimerman

Jacob Tsimerman University of Toronto April 9, 2015 The André-Oort conjecture says that any subvariety of a Shimura variety with a Zariski dense set of CM points must itself be a Shimura subvariety. In recent years, this has been the subject of much work. We explain how this conjecture fo

Hodge theory and derived categories of cubic fourfolds - Richard Thomas

Richard Thomas Imperial College London September 16, 2014 Cubic fourfolds behave in many ways like K3 surfaces. Certain cubics - conjecturally, the ones that are rational - have specific K3s associated to them geometrically. Hassett has studied cubics with K3s associated to them at the le

Modular forms: Eisenstein series

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We give two ways of looking at modular forms: as functions of lattices in C, or as invariant forms. We use this to give two different ways of constructing Eisenstein series. For the other lectures in the course see http

Nick Addington - Rational points and derived equivalence - WAGON

For smooth projective varieties over Q, is the existence of a rational point preserved under derived equivalence? First I'll discuss why this question is interesting, and what is known. Then I'll show that the answer is no, giving two counterexamples: an abelian variety and a torsor over i
