A Brief Description of ATM Schools
Advanced Training in Mathematics (ATM) Schools are a joint effort of a large number of mathematicians in the country for training mathematics research scholars and teachers with generous support from the National Board for Higher Mathematics. The programmes are conducted in reputed mathematics departments in Summer and Winter each year. In these Schools, the emphasis is on problems solving and on understanding interrelations of basic subjects in mathematics. At the initial stage, ATM Schools consist of two Annual Foundation Schools (AFSI & II) in algebra, analysis, and topology. At a later stage, Advanced Instructional Schools (AIS) and workshops (ATMW) in all major areas are organised. Several advanced instructional schools (ATML) are organized each year exclusively for young lecturers in colleges and universities.
Advanced Instructional School on
Schemes & Cohomology
The AIS will be directed towards making young researchers in India familiar with the developments in Algebraic Geometry, with special emphasis on Grothendieck’s programme. The three week programme is primarily aimed at early researchers in this field to become familiar and users of the tools and techniques in this subject. To acquire a good knowledge of modern algebraic geometry it is essential to see the “local” aspects coming from Commutative algebra in its interplay in geometry as well as the immense machinery of cohomology. These two themes will be the main ones for the workshop. To give a flavour of the manner in which these tools have lead to fundamental theorems in algebraic geometry, the final week will stress on some research themes. A team of active researchers in the field has been invited for this purpose.
