Contents

Compulsory Topics:
  • affine and projective varieties (especially: dimension, morphisms, smooth and singular points, blow-ups of points, applications and examples),
  • sheaves and sheaf cohomology with applications (Riemann-Roch Theorem for curves, projective embedding of a curve).

In addition, a selection of the following topics is covered:

  • schemes,
  • differential forms,
  • further aspects of Algebraic Geometry.
