Integers and ideals: there and back again
 
 
Description: 

In number theory, when you try to solve an equation in a number field, it is often more convenient to work with ideals than with integers. This stems from the fact that ideals have unique factorization, but integers may not. I will explain the advantages and difficulties of this method using concrete examples.

 

The seminar takes place in PORTO.
