Algebraic Geometry 2 (AlgGeo2)

Course 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.
