Summer 2019 Algebraic Geometry Reading Group

This is the page for the Summer 2019 Algebraic Geometry Reading Group.

Resources

We plan to primarily use the newest version of Ravi Vakil's Foundations of Algebraic Geometry: The Rising Sea, which can be found here: http://math.stanford.edu/~vakil/216blog/FOAGnov1817public.pdf.

At times we may also use Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry.

10 Total Weeks: May 13-31, June 24-August 9

Optimistic reading schedule (all chapters from Vakil):

Week of May 13: Ch. 3, Ch. 4 (Affine schemes, structure sheaf)
