Math 761 Fall 2015

(a) Describe the conjugacy classes of D and use this to prove that D is simple. [Hint: Any normal subgroup is a union of conjugacy classes.] (b) Compute the number of distinguishable ways to color the faces of a dodecahedron with k colors. [Hint: Let X be the set of all colorings, so that |X| = k12. Many of these colorings are indistinguishable after rotation so we really want to know the numbe...

Algebraic Curves/Fall 2015

(Algebra) It’s a complex projective manifold C of dimension one. As such, it has a field of rational functions K(C) of transcendence degree one over the field C of scalars. The curve can be recovered from the field as the set of discrete valuation rings of K/C, which has the “natural” structure of a projective manifold. There is a canonical line bundle ωC , whose degree captures the genus via d...
