Description
The talks will address a special class of principal bundles over an abelian variety: those that are isomorphic to their pull-backs under all translations. Using some structure theory of algebraic groups, we will present a classification of these `homogeneous' bundles, with applications to projective bundles and the Brauer group of abelian varieties. Plan : 1.Structure of algebraic groups (possibly nonlinear) 2.Classification of homogeneous bundles over abelian varieties 3. Homogeneous projective bundles: irreducible bundles and the Brauer group
