The seminar is run by students in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry. If you would like to be added to the seminar mailing list, send an e-mail to Shin Yao Jow or Eugene Eisenstein.
This term we will be learning about abelian varieties, especially in characteristic zero. Our references will be: O. Debarre, Complex tori and abelian varieties, D. Mumford, Abelian varieties.
