Research interests
My main interests lie in algebraic geometry and arithmetic geometry.
In particular, I do research on
- Tate-Shafarevich groups of abelian varieties
- Geometry and arithmetic of elliptic surfaces and K3 surfaces
- Geometry of elliptic threefolds
- Cohomology of singular varieties and their Hodge structures
- Explicit methods to determine zeta functions
- Arithmetic mirror symmetry
Teaching
During the Sommersemester 2010 I teach a two hour course on Algebraic Surfaces. More (practical) information will follow soon. Topics include: Basic properties of algebraic surfaces, Enriques classification of algebraic surfaces, elliptic surfaces and K3 surfaces.
During the Wintersemester 2009/2010 I teach Algebraic Geometry I. Lectures are on
- Monday 11:15-12:45 in 3.006 (RUD25)
- Wednesday 9:15-10:45 in 0311 (RUD26).
Nicola Tarasca is organizing problem sessions on Monday 13:15-14:45 in 3.007 (RUD25). The sessions start on October, 19.
More information on this course can be found here.
Furthermore, I organize or participate in the following seminars:
- Forschungsseminar Arithmetische Geometrie
- Forschungsseminar Algebraische Geometrie
- College seminar of the International Research Training Group Arithmetic and Geometry
- Forschungsseminar Algebraische Geometrie
