Summary: The course will concern algebraic group actions and
their invariants. The first part of the course will be about
polynomial invariants of linear actions of finite groups. Subsequently
we will discuss algebraic actions of affine algebraic groups and their
quotients.
Prerequisite: The course will be aimed at students who completed commutative algebra lecture (ring and fields) and an introductory course to algebraic geometry. Apart of taking part in lectures, the students are expected to solve homework problems and take part in exercise sessions.
