I passed my qualifying exam last Friday. Here is a copy of the syllabus and a transcript.
Although I’m sure there are more, I’m only aware of two other students at Berkeley who’ve posted transcripts of their quals, namely Christopher Wong and Eric Peterson. It would be nice if more people did this.

Thanks for doing this, Qiaochu. Also, congratulations.
I used to maintain a page with lists of qualifying exam questions; then Tom Coates continued to maintain it. It still seems to exist on the internet; at least all the pdf files of questions asked in previous exam (by topic) seem to be there:
http://www.math.harvard.edu/graduate/quals/topics/
(don’t be fooled by the URL; these are questions from Berkeley quals)
This list is still being maintained, I think! The current version is on the MGSA wiki.
Congrats!
BTW Princetonians (including myself) have been posting these for decades.

Thanks! I’ve been told that Berkeley used to have a repository of these in the past but removed it for some reason.
By the way, congratulations on passing your qual! What’s next? Catch ’em all?
PS. The BGG resolution extends in the same way to any h.w. irreducible rep with integral dominant h.w. for any Kac-Moody algebra.
Probably going to catch up on some writing.
I remember wanting to post my qualifying exam but other students told me that I might need to ask permission from the committee first so I changed my mind. Granted, that was at MIT and I have seen a number of Berkeley grad students post their exams.
The restriction at Berkeley, as I understand it, is that I can’t post things like lecture notes without permission from professors. But I think this is okay.
Does that mean Martin is your advisor? I met a few of his students at the last WAGS.
The chair is actually supposed to be anyone other than the prospective advisor. My advisor is actually Nadler.
