Description

Speaker: Daniel Hu (Harvard)Title: The Hilbert irreducibility theoremAbstract:I will introduce the notion of thin sets and discuss some applications to Galois groups of polynomials. Then, I will state and prove Hilbert's irreducibility theorem following Serre's account of Lang's proof.Reference: Chapter 9 of Serre, Lectures on the Mordell-Weil theorem.
