Zusatztext A thorough and far-reaching introduction to algebraic geometry in its scheme-theoretic setting ... The rich bibliography with nearly 100 references enhances the value of this textbook as a great introduction and source for research. Klappentext This book is a general introduction to the theory of schemes, followed by applications to arithmetic surfaces and to the theory of reduction of algebraic curves. The first part introduces basic objects such as schemes, morphisms, base change, local properties (normality, regularity, Zariski'sMain Theorem). This is followed by the more global aspect: coherent sheaves and a finiteness theorem for their cohomology groups. Then follows a chapter on sheaves of differentials, dualizing sheaves, and grothendieck's duality theory. The first part ends with the theorem of Riemann-Roch and itsapplication to the study of smooth projective curves over a field. Singular curves are treated through a detailed study of the Picard group. The second part starts with blowing-ups and desingularization (embedded or not) of fibered surfaces over a Dedekind ring that leads on to intersection theoryon arithmetic surfaces. Castelnuovo's criterion is proved and also the existence of the minimal regular model. This leads to the study of reduction of algebraic curves. The case of elliptic curves is studied in detail. The book concludes with the fundamental theorem of stable reduction ofDeligne-Mumford. The book is essentially self-contained, including the necessary material on commutative algebra. The prerequisites are therefore few, and the book should suit a graduate student. It contains many examples and nearly 600 exercises. Zusammenfassung Provides an introduction to the theory of schemes, followed by applications to arithmetic surfaces and to the theory of reduction of algebraic curves. This book explains both theory and applications and includes essential background methods. It also includes the necessary material on commutative algebra.
