Education

MSc Programme in Mathematics

Content

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

Learning Outcome

Knowledge: To display knowledge and understanding of the course topics 
and content 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 abstract level corresponding to 
the contents of the course. 

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

It is recommended that the students have taken the course Algebraic Geometry (AlgGeo).

Academic qualifications equivalent to a BSc degree is recommended.
4 hours lectures and 3 hours exercises per week for 9 weeks.
