The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is a millennium problem originally stated for elliptic curves over the rationals and later generalised to abelian varieties over number fields. In this course, we will learn about the different geometric and arithmetic invariants that occur in the conjecture and their significance in the broader context of arithmetic geometry.

There is a good chance that I won't be able to cover all these topics in detail, but below you can find a list of topics I am considering. (Updated after lecture 4.)
