Current Topics in Complex Algebraic Geometry

Zusatztext Review of the hardback: '? an overview of recent developments in the subject ? While this is inevitably a book for the expert! the contributors have tried not to become too technical.' Mathematica Klappentext The articles in this 1996 volume represent the change of direction and branching out witnessed by algebraic geometry in the early 90s. Zusammenfassung The 1992/3 academic year at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute was devoted to Complex Algebraic Geometry. This 1996 volume collects survey articles that arose from this event! which took place at a time when algebraic geometry was undergoing a major change. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface János Kollár; 1.
