A CIMPA school on
Serre's big image theorem for
Galois representation associated to elliptic curves

Universidad de Valparaiso, Valparaiso, Chile
January 6-17, 2025














The daily program consists of at most 6 classes of 50 minutes each from 9:00 to 13:00, (with an half hour break) and from 15:00 to 16:50, except for Tuesday and Thursday of the second week. On those two days we add an extra hour to keep the first Wednesday afternoon free. We also include other activities some days.
