1 Ram Murty QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY, KINGSTON, CANADA An introductory lecture on history of class field theory was done. Appealing to Wiener-Ikehara Tauberian theorem, a proof of Chebotarev was indicated. Also, Artin L-series were introduced leading to Brauer’s theorem and meromorphicity of Artin L series. Then a number of applications of Chebotarev density theorem was discussed, namely to Artin Primitive conjecture and primitive points on Eliptic curves. Finally, a sample of some of the unresolved questions in this set up was discussed.
2 Purusottam Rath CMI, CHENNAI The introductory elements of Global fields were introduced. Idea of decomposition group and ramification theory was covered. Finiteness of class number as well as a complete proof of Unit theorem was given. Finally, Adeles and Ideles were introduced, leading to the proof of strong approximation.
3 D. S. Nagaraj IMSC, CHENNAI The notion of absolute values and valuations were covered. Classification of all absolute values on a number field was done. Hensel’s lemma and its applications was done. Finally, the arithmetic of unramified extensions of local fields was discussed.
4 Anirban Mukhopadhyay IMSC, CHENNAI The notion of Dedekind zeta function was introduced. Further, the idea of L-series associated to cycles was developed leading to their analytic continuation. Finally, a detailed account of the Frobenius density theorem was given.
5 Kumar Murty UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO,CANADA The Kronecker-Weber theorem was introduced and a complete proof using higher ramification groups was done. Norm index computations were done leading to the formulation of Artin Symbol. Class field theory was introduced using the language of cycles. A complete proof of Artin Reciprocity using the language of cycles/modulus was given.
6 Dipendra Prasad TIFR, MUMBAI Building upon the idea of Idele class group, the Artin reciprocity was reformulated in the set up of the absolute pro finite (abelian) completion of number fields. The surjectivity of Artin map in the formulation was indicated. The broad strategy of the mathematics that goes into the Existence theorem was highlighted, the cyclic (Kummer) case was done in reasonable detail. Thereafter,the elements of local theory was introduced and discussed.
7 C. S. Rajan TIFR, MUMBAI The lectures started with concrete question of primes of the form x 2 + my 2 and how it leads to class field theory. Buliding upon this premise, the central role played by Quadratic reciprocity and well Cyclotomic fields was unveiled. There after, the lectures lead to the the formulation and proofs of class field theory. The emphasis was on spilitting of polynomials and primes with a down-to-earth account of the issues involved. Then, Brauer groups were introduced and their link to Class field theory was indicated. Finally, some elements of CM theory was introduced
8 D. Surya Ramana HRI, ALLAHABAD The lectures were built around the theme of analysis on number fields. The goal was to give a complete and comprehensible account of the Chebotarev density theorem, using the more involved notion of Natural density as opposed to the standard Dirichlet density. The counting of ideals in a class was done appealing to the theme of counting lattice points in domains in the Euclidean space which are Lipschitz parametriz-able. All the pre-requisites were recalled and attempt was made to make it as self-contained as possible.
