Classification of Algebraic Varieties Proceedings Geometry Conference on Classification of Algebraic Varieties May 22-30, 1992 University of L'Aqui

This volume contains the proceedings of the Algebraic Geometry Conference on Classification of Algebraic Varieties, held in May 1992 at the University of L'Aquila in Italy. The papers discuss a wide variety of problems that illustrate interactions between algebraic geometry and other branches of mathematics. Among the topics covered are algebraic curve theory, algebraic surface theory, the theory of minimal models, braid groups and the topology of algebraic varieties, toric varieties. In addition to algebraic geometers, theoretical physicists in some areas will find this book useful. The book is also suitable for an advanced graduate course in algebraic geometry, as it provides an overview of areas of current research.Ciliberto, Ciro is the author of 'Classification of Algebraic Varieties Proceedings Geometry Conference on Classification of Algebraic Varieties May 22-30, 1992 University of L'Aqui' with ISBN 9780821851791 and ISBN 0821851799.
