Mori's Program is a fusion of the so-called Minimal Model Program and the IItaka Program toward the biregular and/or birational classification of higher dimensional algebraic varieties. The author presents this theory in an easy and understandable way with lots of background motivation. Prerequisites are those covered in Hartshorne's book "Algebraic Geometry." This is the first book in this extremely important and active field of research and will become a key resource for graduate students wanting to get into the area. (view table of contents)

Product Description: This work provides a unified way of looking at the apparently sporadic Weyl groups connected with the classical algebraic geometry of surfaces from the viewpoint of the recently established Minimal Model Program for $3$-folds (Mori's Program)...read more
