Cohomology of Vector Bundles and Syzygies

Klappentext The central theme of this book is a detailed exposition of the geometric technique of calculating syzygies. While this is an important tool in algebraic geometry! Jerzy Weyman has elected to write from the point of view of commutative algebra in order to avoid being tied to special cases from geometry. No prior knowledge of representation theory is assumed. Chapters on several applications are included! and numerous exercises will give the reader insight into how to apply this important method. Zusammenfassung The central theme of this book is an exposition of the geometric technique of calculating syzygies. Written from a point of view of commutative algebra! no knowledge of representation theory is assumed. Several important applications are carefully considered! with numerous exercises for the reader.
