Time and place: TR 1:00-2:30 in 8-119.

The first half of the course gives an introduction to crystalline cohomology. The second half is a presentation of the recent proof by Tsuji and Kato of the semi-stable conjecture of Fontaine-Jannsen. Please see the syllabus for a more detailed description.

Here are my hand-written lecture notes from the course.
