Exercises for the course of Christophe Ritzenthaler
The mathematical school will focus on effective and explicit methods in the theory of algebraic curves and applications to coding theory and cryptography. An important aspect of the school will be tutorials accompanying each of the lecture series. In these tutorials participants will have the opportunity to put into practice the theory from the lectures and experiment with the introduced object using various computer algebra systems. Depending on the background of the students, they might be given small research problems on which they can work together during the week. Active participation and interaction will be a key aspect of the mathematical school. This school also serves the purpose of preparing students for a sequence of conferences and workshops to be organized in the near future.

Algorithmic Aspects of Desingularization of 2-dimensional schemes
Resolution of singularities is a well-known theoretical and practical tool in algebraic geometry over fields of characteristic zero and for surfaces also in arbitrary characteristic. For surfaces in mixed characteristic, it is by far less used, as there are a number of additional algorithmic issues to consider. In this mini-course we shall first explore the tasks and challenges of algorithmic desingularization in general and explicitly provide basic algorithmic tools like blow-ups. In the second lecture we will focus on the desingulariziation invariant which controls the whole resolution process and on algorithmically determining the locus of maximal order. The last of the three lectures will be devoted to a variant of the algorithm of Cossart-Jannsen-Saito for resolving 2-dimensional schemes in arbitrary and mixed characteristic.
The mini-course is designed for PhD-students and advanced Master-students, so there will be an emphasis on instructive examples and explicit algorithmic techniques.
