Projective geometry with applications

de E. Ballico

This unique reference presents original, refereed papers that explore current topics in projective geometry - revealing a locus of mathematical techniques and approaches applicable to and informed by algebraic geometry, complex analysis, commutative algebra, and number theory. Containing contributions from more than 20 internationally acclaimed mathematicians, Projective Geometry with Applications covers diverse subjects such as adjunction theory ... Fano manifolds ... applications of the Mori theory ... subvarieties of Grassmannians ... the enumerative geometry of finite subsets of projective varieties ... Calabi-Yau manifolds ... Weierstrass points on Gorenstein curves and related ramification loci ... and more. Furnishing over 300 up-to-date literature citations, allowing for in-depth study of particular topics, Projective Geometry with Applications is a remarkable resource for algebraists, number and computer theorists, geometers, topologists, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
