Lecture notes

Topologie. (In Dutch) Syllabus voor een tweedejaars inleidend vak in de topologie.

Introduction to Algebraic Geometry. Notes based on a Mastermath course in the Spring of 2013.

Notes on Mumford-Tate groups. In 1999 I gave a series of lectures at the Centre Emile Borel in Paris about Mumford-Tate groups and images of Galois representations. The notes that I wrote are not widely available, and the notes of the second half of the course only exist in handwritten form. Should I one day find the time for it, I will write up a better and more complete set of notes. For the time being, I simply post the original notes of the first part of the course, even though the result is far from perfect. Comments are welcome!

There is another set of notes, corresponding to lectures I gave at a workshop in Monte Verita in 2004. Like the previous set, they should one day become part of a more complete text. For now, here are the original: An introduction to Mumford-Tate groups.
