Abstract

This book focuses on recent advances in the classification of complex projective varieties. It is divided into two parts. The first part gives a detailed account of recent results in the minimal model program. In particular, it contains a complete proof of the theorems on the existence of flips, on the existence of minimal models for varieties of log general type and of the finite generation of the canonical ring. The second part is an introduction to the theory of moduli spaces. It includes topics such as representing and moduli functors, Hilbert schemes, the boundedness, local closedness and separatedness of moduli spaces and the boundedness for varieties of general type. The book is aimed at advanced graduate students and researchers in algebraic geometry.

Abstract

The textbook literature on ordered sets is still rather limited. A lot of material is presented in this book that appears now for the first time in a textbook. Order theory works with combinatorial and set-theoretical methods, depending on whether the sets under consideration are finite or infinite. In this book the set-theoretical parts prevail. The book treats in detail lexicographic products and their connections with universally ordered sets, and further it gives thorough investigations on the structure of power sets. Other topics dealt with include dimension theory of ordered sets, well-quasi-ordered sets, trees, combinatorial set theory for ordered sets, comparison of order types, and comparibility graphs. Audience This book is intended for mathematics students and for mathemeticians who are interested in set theory. Only some fundamental parts of naïve set theory are presupposed. Since all proofs are worked out in great detail, the book should be suitable as a text for a course on order theory.

Abstract

Algèbre commutative, Chapitres 8 et 9 Les Éléments de mathématique de Nicolas BOURBAKI ont pour objet une présentation rigoureuse, systématique et sans prérequis des mathématiques depuis leurs fondements. Ce volume du Livre d'Algèbre commutative, septième Livre du traité, comprend les chapitres : Dimension ; Anneaux locaux noethériens complets. Le chapitre 8 traite de diverses notions de dimension en algèbre commutative, telles que la dimension de Krull d'un anneau. Ces notions jouent un rôle capital en géometrie algébrique. Le chapitre 9 introduit, quant à lui, les vecteurs de Witt et les anneaux japonais. Ce volume est une réimpression de l'édition de 1983.

Abstract

La théorie classique des suites de Sturm fournit un algorithme pour déterminer le nombre de racines d'un polynôme à coefficients réels contenues dans un intervalle donné. L'objet principal de ce mémoire est de montrer qu'une généralisation adéquate de la théorie des suites de Sturm fournit entre autres choses: une notion d'indice de Maslov pour un lacet algébrique de lagrangiens défini sur un anneau commutatif; une démonstration du théorème fondamental de la K-théorie (algébrique) hermitienne, théorème dû à M. Karoubi; une démonstration des théorèmes de périodicité de Bott (topologique), dans l'esprit des travaux de F. Latour; un calcul du groupe K2 relatif, symplectique-linéaire, pour tous les anneaux commutatifs, dans l'esprit des travaux de R. Sharpe. Le livre est dans la mesure du possible « self-contained » et élémentaire: il met essentiellement en oeuvre des arguments d'algèbre linéaire ou bilinéaire. Il présente une approche unifiée de l'indice de Maslov en termes de suites de Sturm et de formes quadratiques.

Abstract

This is a book in pure mathematics dealing with homotopy theory, one of the main branches of algebraic topology. The principal topics are as follows: ¢ Basic homotopy; ¢ H-spaces and co-H-spaces; ¢ Fibrations and cofibrations; ¢ Exact sequences of homotopy sets, actions, and coactions; ¢ Homotopy pushouts and pullbacks; ¢ Classical theorems, including those of Serre, Hurewicz, Blakers-Massey, and Whitehead; ¢ Homotopy sets; ¢ Homotopy and homology decompositions of spaces and maps; and ¢ Obstruction theory. The underlying theme of the entire book is the Eckmann-Hilton duality theory. This approach provides a unifying motif, clarifies many concepts, and reduces the amount of repetitious material. The subject matter is treated carefully with attention to detail, motivation is given for many results, there are several illustrations, and there are a large number of exercises of varying degrees of difficulty. It is assumed that the reader has had some exposure to the rudiments of homology theory and fundamental group theory; these topics are discussed in the appendices. The book can be used as a text for the second semester of an algebraic topology course. The intended audience of this book is advanced undergraduate or graduate students. The book could also be used by anyone with a little background in topology who wishes to learn some homotopy theory.

Abstract

Algebraic K-theory encodes important invariants for several mathematical disciplines, spanning from geometric topology and functional analysis to number theory and algebraic geometry. As is commonly encountered, this powerful mathematical object is very hard to calculate. Apart from Quillen's calculations of finite fields and Suslin's calculation of algebraically closed fields, few complete calculations were available before the discovery of homological invariants offered by motivic cohomology and topological cyclic homology. This book covers the connection between algebraic K-theory and Bökstedt, Hsiang and Madsen's topological cyclic homology and proves that the difference between the theories are ˜locally constant'. The usefulness of this theorem stems from being more accessible for calculations than K-theory, and hence a single calculation of K-theory can be used with homological calculations to obtain a host of ˜nearby' calculations in K-theory. For instance, Quillen's calculation of the K-theory of finite fields gives rise to Hesselholt and Madsen's calculations for local fields, and Voevodsky's calculations for the integers give insight into the diffeomorphisms of manifolds. In addition to the proof of the full integral version of the local correspondence between K-theory and topological cyclic homology, the book provides an introduction to the necessary background in algebraic K-theory and highly structured homotopy theory; collecting all necessary tools into one common framework. It relies on simplicial techniques, and contains an appendix summarizing the methods widely used in the field. The book is intended for graduate students and scientists interested in algebraic K-theory, and presupposes a basic knowledge of algebraic topology.

Abstract

This monograph tells the story of a philosophy of J-P. Serre and his vision of relating that philosophy to problems in affine algebraic geometry. It gives a lucid presentation of the Quillen-Suslin theorem settling Serre's conjecture. The central topic of the book is the question of whether a curve in n-space is as a set an intersection of (n-1) hypersurfaces, depicted by the central theorems of Ferrand, Szpiro, Cowsik-Nori, Mohan Kumar, Boratýnski. The book gives a comprehensive introduction to basic commutative algebra, together with the related methods from homological algebra, which will enable students who know only the fundamentals of algebra to enjoy the power of using these tools. At the same time, it also serves as a valuable reference for the research specialist and as potential course material, because the authors present, for the first time in book form, an approach here that is an intermix of classical algebraic K-theory and complete intersection techniques, making connections with the famous results of Forster-Swan and Eisenbud-Evans. A study of projective modules and their connections with topological vector bundles in a form due to Vaserstein is included. Important subsidiary results appear in the copious exercises. Even this advanced material, presented comprehensively, keeps in mind the young student as potential reader besides the specialists of the subject.
