Lecture notes
Unfortunately, Chapter 1 only exists in German. Starting with Chapter 2, the lecture notes will be in English.
In the lecture, we noticed that in the proof of Theorem 3.4 in Chapter 3, while etablishing the well-definedness of F,
one Delta is chosen wrongly in the downloadable lecture notes. Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 (not 13)
