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

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)

Kitchen in the air

Hello everyone:

  Today I'll teach you how to roast a full chicken. First of all, you must have a chicken; you can buy it at Smith. After washing it, then let it dry because we want to spread some seasonings on it. There're thousands kinds of seasonings, you can find it on internet, or you can just buy a babecue source; my favorite one is garlic, honey and add some lemon juice. But the point is, nomatter what seasoning and sause is, you must spread butters on the chicken!! That's because butters can prevent water from vaporing too fast; also, evenif you don't want to eat chicken skins, don't cut it off until the roasting chicken is done. 

  Finally, I recommend you warm up the oven ten minutes before roasting the chicken; adjust the oven at 375 'F,  when putting the chicken into the oven, put the chest- side down. Wait for two hours, and enjoy your roasting chicken!!

  When you just bake a leg or chest, not a whole chicken, that's totally the same procedure as before, but I suggest you to use aluminum foil to cover it. Any way, enjoy your chicken!!

讓我們用阿基師的一句話來作結

遜爆

今天交換代數課Paul有點掛版，信誓但但地講了我的想法，結果下課後就發覺是錯的…心情鬱卒中

寫在這兒當然是希望不要太多人看到…我一直不知道怎麼看待我和前老闆相處的這兩年…一方面我所有的數學都是自已學的…而且還走了很多冤枉路;當我重踏回數論時馬上就知道我當初為什麼會讀得這麼痛苦，因為我從來沒在number field上做過事情;(他不是有開galois cohomology的seminar嗎? 別傻了，他講的是基本中的基本，大概是講給他自已還有不會的人聽的)，那時唯一的差別就是報得好不會被罵，報不好會被罵…一直這樣循環。我學會了什麼，大概就是怎麼樣瞧不起別人，和被別人瞧不起…更嚴重的是被灌輸了很多錯誤的訊息，什麼Taylor好不好其實也不是很清楚，Hacon和Parimala在各自領域的地位是不能比的? 如果是無知那就算了，但一個學者竟然可以這樣睜眼說瞎話，想到我就覺得生氣。

但一方面僅管被利用，他其實對我還是不錯;最少我學到最重要的一件事，就是怎麼樣叫做把書唸好，怎麼樣叫做紮實; 更何況那些下流的話也只能對我這種意志不堅的人有用;其實也怪自已抗壓性不夠，在研二下時我看了很多電視，但那是不得不看，因為胃已經痛到沒法唸書了。至於我如果去跟dragon，去找于靖老師會不會比現在更好，那又是那一件事了。

或許人生就是這樣吧，沒有絕對的對錯，沒有絕對的盟友，讓他知道我現在跟的是Niziol他大概會說在 Utah不跟Hacon是在幹什麼之類的話，但很遺憾，我跟你不一樣，我只做我自已喜歡的事。

Live in isolation

Now I totally understand what I learned before is definitely out of date. Many deep math are discussed, but not in Utah.  

In the begining I'm very angry(for some reason) and upset; now there's nothing about these emotions. All I can do is to have a solid foundation and discuss with my advisor frequntly.

Practice doesn't lie to me.

accident

It's not a car accident, but because of this I lay on the bed in the hospital for one week.

At that time I was a third year undergraduate student in Taiwan. One day in the volleyball class,  the teacher asked us to pass students' serve.  When the student served, although I thought the ball would fly outside the court, I thought I can handle it. Therefore I ran to dig the ball. However, there're another student running toward me so we collided with each other.

At that time I just thought it's painful but nothing else; I thought I'm ok after taking a rest. But When I biked to my doom and went to the restroom, I found it's not urine, it's blood!!

I was so scared and so did my senior; when I lay on the bed of the ambulance, I felt very uncomfortable so I vomited; my senior was very scared and he cried out "he is vomitting blood!! he is vomitting blood!!" I was also very scared , "on my god, I'm vomitting blood". But After about ten minutes, people found it's watermelon juice, not blood; it's red, and you can see some watermelon seed in the red liquid.

Of course I felt very uncomfortable. Ironically, many funny things happened at that time.  The doctor used ultrasonic scan to see what's wrong in my body. Finally we knew my right kidney hurt.  Instead of cheering me up, the doctor said,  "Beautiful, beautiful!! The wound is so conspicuous!! I'll use this picture to teach my students."   And he talked to his student beside him " so we always say patients are our teachers, you should thank him!!" and he took a picture of my broken kidney to me to memorize it. 

At night they wanted to sent me from the emergency ward in  the first floor to the ward in the third floor, but they cannot do this directly. Because at the same day an injured gangster was sent into the hospital, and there are gangsters in the main entrance to protect, or to kill him. Alternatively,  we avoid passing the main entrance because we're afraid to be shot; we passed the office and went to the elevator; eveyone was happy because we were safe!!

Fortunately, my wound is classified as level 3; I'll need surgery if it's level 4 or level 5; but it's still painful. At that time I lay on the bed, it hurt even I just turned into the other side. After one week I left the hospital, one weeks later I can bike; one month later I can run, and now I'm still alive.

沒想到第一次完整把這件事情寫下來是在我要上台報告的時候;說懷念到不至於，不過那的確是我人生很重要的一件事。
