As in previous years, I will maintain a blog for my two courses on Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Number Theory. You can browse through some of the previous years’ entries for a general guide to usage. I feel it’s been considered a fairly helpful means of communication about the material covered, so please do take [...]
One other important point: I’ve been having a rather exasperating 10 days trying to get BT to activate my broadband service in a new house, sadly unsuccessfully. So I may not be able to get to email questions until Monday afternoon. The people who intended to send them could also avail themselves of the special [...]
I thought I would post a short email exchange, just in case other people are confused by this issue as well. ————————————————————————————– Email: hi, this is where the confusion arose as you mention some proofs specifically but at the bottom where it says “Needless to say, it is assumed that you will have a full [...]
In keeping with my serious image , I suppose I should disavow any concern with the mere appearance of this site. The reason for changing was that the previous format displayed the comments in very small type, making it a bit hard to read mathematics. Obviously, popular blogs are not constructed primarily to facilitate scientific [...]
Because I’ve recently begun posting links to conferences or seminars I go to, I thought I’d add a clarifying comment. The purpose of it, at least consciously, was not to show off that I’m a busy guy or something of that sort. It’s rather that for any serious mathematician, a complex web of obligations makes [...]

This is to let students know that I am at a conference in Bangalore, India. I will have occasional access to the internet and will try to get to your questions as soon as possible, but you have to expect some delays until 5 April.

I’ve finally figured out how to make a submission form for your questions. Hopefully, this will facilitate communication. Only text is allowed, so use some clear and approximately consistent methodology for typing mathematics. If you have a sophisticated question, you can send a PDF file via email. As for comments to previous posts, I presume [...]

It seems reasonable at this point to extend an invitation to others who may have mathematical questions that are suitable for discussions on this blog. For example, students in my tutorial groups are strongly encouraged to use this medium. However, even if you’re enrolled in some other mathematics course at UCL, or, for that matter, [...]

The intention of this blog is to facilitate communication with my current students. I expect many of the discussions to start from replies to email queries on specific mathematical issues. But if there are other general topics you would like me to comment on, please let me know using the submission form, by email, or [...]
