Arithmetic Intersection Theory

This is the web page of the arithmetic intersection theory seminar held on VU University Amsterdam and Universiteit Leiden during the Fall of 2012.

We meet every Wednesday, alternatingly in Amsterdam and Leiden. In Amsterdam, we meet 13:30 -- 15:15 (for the remainder of the year: room C616 of the Wis- en Natuurkundegebouw of VU University Amsterdam), and in Leiden it is 14:15 -- 16:00 (usually room 412 of the Snellius building).

Our main reference is L. Szpiro - La conjecture de Mordell, volume 127 of Astérisque (1985)
