Education

MSc Programme in Mathematics
MSc Programme in Mathematics with a minor subject

Content

This course is an introduction to scheme theory. We will cover affine schemes, gluing for general schemes, local and global properties of schemes, and morphisms of schemes, quasicoherent sheaves on schemes, and their cohomology with applications to curves.

Learning Outcome

Knowledge: To display an understanding of the course topics and contents at a level suitable for further studies in Algebraic Geometry.

Skills: At the end of the course, the student is expected to be able to 
follow and reproduce arguments at a high level of abstraction corresponding to the course contents. 

Competences: At the end of the course, the student is expected to be 
able to apply basic techniques and results to concrete examples.

Course notes.
