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.

Schedule

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)

Week of May 20: Ch. 5, Start Ch. 6 (Properties of schemes, morphisms of schemes)

Week of May 27: Finish Ch. 6, Ch. 7 (Classes of morphisms of schemes)

Week of June 24: Ch. 8, Start Ch. 9 (Closed embeddings and Cartier divisors, fibered product of schemes)

Week of July 1: Finish Ch. 9, Ch. 10 (Separated and proper morphisms, varieties)

Week of July 8: Ch. 11, Start Ch. 12 (Dimension, regularity and smoothness)

Week of July 15: Finish Ch. 12, Ch. 13 (Quasicoherent and coherent sheaves)

Week of July 22: Ch. 14, Start Ch. 15 (Line bundles, projective schemes)

Week of July 29: Finish Ch. 15, Ch. 16 (Pushforwards and pullbacks of quasicoherent sheaves)

Week of August 5: Ch. 18, Ch. 19, Ch. 21 (Cech cohomology, curves, differentials)
