Introductory material

We will assume basic algebraic number theory, some exposure to algebraic geometry, and knowledge of sections 1-3 of Marker's notes on model theory.

Shimura varieties.

Model Theory.
In addition to sections 1-3 of Dave Marker's course notes, we suggest that people read sections 4-7 and the Appendix.
Course Model Theory for Algebra and Algebraic Geometry, by Dave Marker. Orsay, Spring 2010. Content:

  • Sections 1--3: Language, Structures and Theories, The Compactness Theorem, Ultraproducts and Compactness
  • Sections 4-6: Complete Theories, Quantifier Elimination, Algebraically Closed Fields
  • Section 7: Real Closed Fields and o-minimality
  • Section 8: The Pila-Zannier proof of the Manin-Mumford Conjecture
  • Appendix: Real Algebra
  • Exercises using the Compactness Theorem
  • More advanced material
