Unfortunately, due to health problems, I will not be able to give the lecture on Friday 13 December. I apologise for this.

I would like to ask you to work through slides 559-565 (i.e. up to Remark 26.2.5) and the corresponding proofs on your own.

There will be only two exercises on Exercise Sheet 8, the second of which requires the theory introduced on slides 559-565. Therefore, the points for this exercise (i.e. Exercise 23) are bonus points.
