I want to cover a number of key topics in the representation theory of finite-dimensional associative algebras:
Correspondences given by faithfully balanced modules, and applications to Auslander algebras and homological conjectures. (Originally planned for the previous semester, but carried over, since there was not enough time.)
Tilting and tau-tilting theory, including equivalences of derived categories.
Geometric methods for studying representations of algebras, including relevant facts about varieties and schemes without proofs. (There will be less time for this than originally planned.)
If time, possibly preprojective algebras and Kleinian singularities.
Students are expected to have some familiarity with rings and modules, and topics such as categories, projective and injective modules, and Ext groups. I will freely use ideas and results from the previous course in the sequence "Representations of Algebras".

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
