2002-03 VIGRE Number Theory Working Group


Organized by Brian Conrad, Chris Skinner, and James Parson



This year's topic was Deligne's Bourbaki paper on Shimura varieties (his first paper). The aim was to read through as much of the paper as possible, with suitable digressions into moduli spaces and algebraic groups as the need arises. Only a few (minor) things were TeXed up, and links are provided below. Milne's web page provides some excellent notes on these matters.
