Sonderforschungsbereich Geometrische Strukturen in der Mathematik

Instructional workshop on the noncommutative main conjectures

Münster, April 26 - April 30, 2011

Organizers: J. Coates (Cambridge)
P. Schneider (Münster)

Scope: The morning sessions will be devoted to a careful exposition of the proof of the main conjecture for totally real fields. This is available in papers by Ritter/Weiss and by Kakde. For pedagogical reasons the lectures will be based on Kakde's paper. In the afternoons we will have individual talks on recent developments in the area.
