Zusatztext It is a very good starting point to explore open problems related to derived categories, such as for example moduli space problems and birational classification. Informationen zum Autor Daniel Huybrechts completed his Ph.D. in 1992 at the Universität Berlin. He is now a professor at the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu, Université Paris VII. Klappentext This seminal text on Fourier-Mukai Transforms in Algebraic Geometry by a leading researcher and expositor is based on a course given at the Institut de Mathematiques de Jussieu in 2004 and 2005. Aimed at postgraduate students with a basic knowledge of algebraic geometry, the key aspect of this book is the derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety. Including notions from other areas, e.g. singular cohomology, Hodge theory, abelian varieties, K3 surfaces; full proofs are given and exercises aid the reader throughout.
