This course continues the study of number fields begun in the course Number Theory I of the previous semester. Topics include p-adic numbers, local fields, valuations, Galois theory of valuations, ramification theory, and some local and global abelian class field theory.

Exercises

The new exercise sheet will usually be posted here on Thursdays. In the exercise session, we will discuss the exercise sheet of the prior week.
