Recent Advances in Algebraic Geometry

A comprehensive collection of expository articles on cutting-edge topics at the forefront of research in algebraic geometry.

A collection of articles, written by leading experts, on cutting-edge aspects of algebraic geometry. Up-to-date research is presented in an expository manner, giving a comprehensive picture of current research in this thriving field. Essential reading for researchers and graduate students.Contemporary research in algebraic geometry is the focus of this collection, which presents articles on modern aspects of the subject. The list of topics covered is a roll-call of some of the most important and active themes in this thriving area of mathematics: the reader will find articles on birational geometry, vanishing theorems, complex geometry and Hodge theory, free resolutions and syzygies, derived categories, invariant theory, moduli spaces, and related topics, all written by leading experts. The articles, which have an expository flavour, present an overall picture of current research in algebraic geometry, making this book essential for researchers and graduate students. This volume is the outcome of the conference Recent Advances in Algebraic Geometry, held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to honour Rob Lazarsfeld's many contributions to the subject on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
