The red book of varieties and schemes

By: Mumford, DavidMaterial type: TextTextSeries: Lecture Notes in Mathematics ; 1358Publication details: New York: Springer, [c1999]Edition: 2nd edDescription: 304 pISBN: 9783540632931LOC classification: QA3
Contents:
I. Varieties II. Preschemes III. Local Properties of Schemes Appendix: Curves and Their Jacobians References: The Red Book of Varieties and Schemes Guide to the Literature and References: Curves and Their Jacobians Supplementary Bibliography on the Schottky Problem
Summary: Mumford's famous Red Book gives a simple readable account of the basic objects of algebraic geometry, preserving as much as possible their geometric flavor and integrating this with the tools of commutative algebra. It is aimed at graduate students or mathematicians in other fields wishing to learn quickly what algebraic geometry is all about. This new edition also includes an overview of the theory of curves, their moduli spaces and their Jacobians, one of the most exciting fields within algebraic geometry. The book is aimed at graduate students and professors seeking to learn i) the concept of "scheme" as part of their study of algebraic geometry and ii) an overview of moduli problems for curves and of the use of theta functions to study these.
