It is hard to give a precise answer.  Beyond class field theory (in its cohomological/idelic form) and classical modular forms and modular curves, familiarity with Galois cohomology (such as Tate local/global duality -- see chapter II of Serre's book) and basic Galois deformation theory (as in the article of Mazur) will be assumed for the course of Kisin/Tiloouine, as will some basic Iwasawa theory (such as the elementary nonsense with Lambda-modules, etc., as in the book of Washington or perhaps the survey article by Greenberg) in the course of Skinner/Bellaiche, and for my course with Brinon on p-adic Hodge theory some preparatory notes will be posted by early March and it will be assumed that everyone has learned the basic concepts developed there.   Oh, and the adelic viewpoint on automorphic forms is sure to come up, and schemes and their cohomology will come up in an essential way is pretty much every course and 4th-week minicourse. But it's likely that many participants will have strong background for some courses and weaker background for others. In any event, the application process will probably be quite stiff, as I am expecting that the combination of the topics and the location will lead to a flood of applications.  One good thing is that the main courses (and hopefully the mini-courses) will have written-up lecture notes, so people who are not able to attend should find those to be useful once they are completed (probably within a year after the summer school ends, but hopefully earlier).
Note there is also a Park City program this summer on the arithmetic of L-functions, and that will have fewer prerequisites (in case the above seems like too much to you).  Regards, Brian

待讀

Arithmetic Geometry: abelian variety from arithmetic viewpoint, Neron-Tate height?
Finite flat group scheme by John Tate
A first course in modular form( first part) + Shimura's book

Etale cohomology- not related to P-adic Hodge theory, but just for itself.

'In any case you'll know abelian variety more or less this semester, if you read this, you'll have strong foundation"

"Maybe we shall discuss some material before you go to Hawaii."

之前某種程度是一直在躲他,總想說現在這種程度其實是沒法和老師談數學的。但最近發覺自已讀書讀得太盲目了,就下定決心去找他,把心裡的話都說出來。

結論是我的判斷是正確的,這種程度的確是不能做數學,不過其實老師也沒那麼難溝通,把話說出來心裡頭也好受多了。要怎麼讀書讀書自己的想法而不是像背書一樣,要學得地方還很多。

Paul算是對我影響很深的另一人,雖然他是做交換代數,但他每次總能講到我能聽懂,每次我都會想,為什麼他能做到,我不能做到。

大膽地正面對決,和老師說要報告,結果現在什麼都看不懂,不過終於有進入軌道的感覺了。

Schedule

5/6日回台
5/19-22 在台北(于靖老師真的很厲害,請來的人就算不是最好,也是相當活躍的人)
6/14-7/11 在Hawaii參加summer school; 終於可以看到傳說中的Brian Conrad 和Skinner;就去被電一下再看看接下來怎麼走吧。還會碰到藍凱文,謝銘倫不知道會不會來。
7/12 Utah,老爸好像有點失望,因為待在台灣的時間很短…不過今年的我也只能這樣了。

Zhu Wang給了我一個小姐的電話
Yan cai Ellis USA Gateway Travel 1601 NW Expressway,Suite 101 Oklahoma  City, OK73118 Phone    (405)842 2919 Fax        (405)842 4014 free tell: 1-800-688-0988
算起來三張票大概快1300,不知道算貴還便宜(yoyo說他買馬航來回497…太強了,不過他是八月中回來)
