The course "Institutions of Higher Geometry" aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of algebraic varieties and Riemann surfaces. Through a theoretical approach and explicit examples, students will acquire a solid foundation for further advanced studies in geometry and topology.
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to the theory of algebraic varieties, with the study of notable examples and with particular regard to the case of curves, also dealing with some advanced topics using classical methods. The knowledge provided is useful both for the continuation of studies in the algebraic-geometric field and for an approach to certain problems in the applied field.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
A full mastery of the content of the first two years' courses in algebra, analysis, and geometry is required.
In-person lectures. Remote lectures via Teams only if necessary.
The class will start according to the academic calendar.
The exam consists of a written test and an oral interview.
The written test that will involve solving problems and developing new proofs. Those who achieve a passing grade in the written test can take an oral exam about theoretical topics covered during the course or further exercises.
Attendance is recommended.
Communications and additional teaching materials will be available through Aulaweb.
Please be reminded that students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD) must follow the detailed instructions on Aulaweb https://2023.aulaweb.unige.it/course/view.php?id=12490#section-3 to request exam accommodations.
In particular, accommodations must be requested well in advance (at least 10 days) before the exam date by emailing the instructor and copying the School Referent Instructor and the relevant Office (see instructions).
