Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, the student knows the basic notions of scheme theory. These can be applied in their research field in algebra and geometry.
Course contents
Scheme theory, which was developed by Alexander Grothendieck, is the modern and rigorous language with which one studies algebraic geometry. It unifies classical algebraic geometry and algebraic number theory.
The topics of this class include: sheaves, schemes, global and local properties of schemes, coherent sheaves, sheaf cohomology.
Necessary prerequisite: commutative algebra (as treated in the course 06689).
It is recommended that the student has some familiarity with basic notions of algebraic geometry, in particular:
- projective space and plane algebraic curves (as treated in the course 54777)
- geometry of affine varieties and of quasi-projective varieties (as treated in the first chapter of the book by Hartshorne, or in the first part of the courses 96733 and 66734).
