Product Description: This is a genuine introduction to algebraic geometry. The author makes no assumption that readers know more than can be expected of a good undergraduate. He introduces fundamental concepts in a way that enables students to move on to a more advanced book or course that relies more heavily on commutative algebra...read more

Product Description: Dieses Buch gibt eine Einführung in die Algebraische Geometrie. Ziel ist es, die grundlegenden Begriffe und Techniken der algebraischen Geometrie zusammen mit einer Reihe von Beispielen darzustellen.

Product Description: The series is aimed specifically at publishing peer reviewed reviews and contributions presented at workshops and conferences. Each volume is associated with a particular conference, symposium or workshop. These events cover various topics within pure and applied mathematics and provide up-to-date coverage of new developments, methods and applications...read more

Product Description: The first third of the monograph focuses on the construction and description of toroidal compactifications of moduli spaces, which specializes to the Igusa compactification in the principally polarized case. In the next section, the emphasis is on the construction of degenerate Abelian surfaces, us...read more
