Workshop "Alpbach 2017: Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry"

This workshop is organized by J. Ayoub, C. Fuchs, A. Kresch, R. Pink and G. Wüstholz. The workshop takes place from July 9 - July 15, 2017 at the Böglerhof in Alpbach/Tyrol, Austria.

This, the 11th in a series of Workshops in Alpbach, will feature minicourses and invited talks on topics covering a spectrum of modern arithmetic geometry. Minicourses presenting a broad overview of these topics, delivered by top international experts, will be complemented by invited talks highlighting recent progress.

Lecture Notes and Literature:
Background material related to Brian Conrad's minicourse: Linear algebraic groups: course 1, course 2 (Note: only sections 1 and 2 of course 2); Weil restriction (affine case is enough): Section 7.6 of the book Neron Models (PDF). Familiarity with Borel's textbook "Linear Algebraic Groups" up through 14.11 in Chap. IV is also sufficient.
