Abstract

The idea of this reading group is to develop the basic notions of modern algebraic geometry, through the language of schemes. References: We will follow closely the wonderful lecture notes by Vakil:

• R. Vakil, Foundations of Algebraic Geometry.

Other useful textbooks are:

• R. Hartshorne, Algebraic Geometry. Springer.
• Q. Liu, Algebraic Geometry and Arithmetic Curves. Oxford University Press.
• D. Eisenbud and J. Harris, The geometry of schemes. Springer.
• U. Görtz and T. Wedhorn, Algebraic Geometry I: Schemes. Springer.

The definitive references on the topic are:

• A. Grothendieck and J. Dieudonné, Éléments de géométrie algébrique. Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS.
• The Stacks project authors, The Stacks project.
