Selected Exercises in Algebra

Volume 2

Übersetzung: Caraceni, Alessandra

Beschreibung

This book, the second of two volumes, contains approximately 350 exercises in Algebra which have featured exam questions for the Algebraic Structure and Algebra I courses taught by the authors at the University of Pisa. Each exercise is presented together with one or more solutions, carefully written with consistent language and notation. A distinguishing feature of this book is the fact that each exercise is unique and requires some creative thinking to be solved. The themes covered in this volume are: group theory and Sylow theorems, commutative rings with an emphasis on unique factorisation, Gaussian integers, field extensions and Galois theory. The book includes a detailed section recalling relevant theory that can be used as a reference for study and revision. A list of preliminary exercises introduces the main techniques to be applied in solving the proposed exam questions. This volume is aimed at second year students in Mathematics and Computer science.

Autor

Rocco Chirivì obtained a degree in Mathematics from the University of Pisa in 1995; he earned his Diploma di Licenza from the Scuola Normale of Pisa in 1997, followed by his Diploma di Perfezionamento in 2000. He has been a researcher in Algebra at the University of Pisa from 2002 until 2012 and at the University of Salento until 2019; he is currently an associate professor in Geometry at the University of Salento. His main research focus is Representation Theory at the intersection between Algebra, Combinatorics and the geometry of varieties related to group actions. Ilaria Del Corso attended the Corso di Perfezionamento at the Scuola Normale from 1990 to 1992 and has been an associate professor in Algebra at the University of Pisa since 2001. She has extensive teaching experience in Algebra and Algebraic Number Theory. Her research in Algebraic Number Theory concerns number fields and local fields, focusing in particular on the study oframification and on the Galois module structure of certain field extensions. Roberto Dvornicich, having been a student at the Scuola Normale of Pisa, obtained a degree in Mathematics from the University of Pisa in 1972 and later attended the Corso di Perfezionamento at the Scuola Normale. He has been a full professor in Algebra at the University of Pisa since 1990. His main research interests lie within Algebraic Number Theory (arithmetic properties of number fields and local fields) and in Diophantine Analysis (algebraic equations over the integers or some number field).
