Classes:

Friday 14:00 ct - 16:00 Uhr, Grosser Hörsaal Wegelerstr. 10

Content:

The course introduces the modern language of algebraic geometry: sheaves, schemes, cohomology. The functorial point of view is emphasized. A basic knowledge of commutative algebra (prime ideals etc) is assumed, more advanced material will not be strictly necessary.

David Mumford 1975: [Algebraic geometry] seems to have acquired the reputation of being esoteric, exclusive, and very abstract, with adherents who are secretly plotting to take over all the rest of mathematics! In one respect this last point is accurate ...

Tutorials:

- Tue 16-18 Uhr - Seminarraum 0.007 (Galinat).

- Wed 16-18 Uhr - Seminarraum 0.008 (Neupert).

One of the two (probably Neupert's) will be used to fill gaps in commutative algebra and is recommended for those students who have not followed my class last term.

Exercises will be announced here. They are to be handed in directly to the tutors.
