General Information

Below are the English lectures offered by our group in the winter term 2024/2025.

If you would like to attend a seminar or reading course during the winter semester, please contact the respective supervisor by e-mail. Appointments are then determined in consultation with the participants.

If you would like to write a thesis in our working group, simply contact the desired supervisor directly.
 

Content

  • Mandatory content:

    • Affine and projective varieties (especially: dimension, morphisms, smooth and singular points, blow-ups of points, applications and examples),
    • Sheaves and sheaf cohomology with applications (Riemann-Roch's theorem for curves, projective embedding of curves).
  • It also covers a selection of the following topics:

    • Schemes,
    • Differential forms,
    • other aspects of algebraic geometry.
