Lectures (from 16/10/20):
Friday, 14:00-16:00, MS Teams
This course is a continuation of the TCC course Introduction to Algebraic Geometry from Spring 2020.
Syllabus:
Valuation theory: ordered groups and their rank, the embedding theorems of Hölder and Hahn. The field of Hahn series. Hilbert polynomials, the Hilbert scheme. Artin-Rees lemma, Krull's theorem, injecive test lemma. The dimension theorem, regular local rings. Abelian categories, injective and projective resolutions. Derived functors. Delta-functors, universality, cohomology and higher direct images of sheaves. Flabby sheaves, direct systems and limits. Noetherian topological spaces, irreducible components. Grothendieck's theorem on cohomological dimension. Cohomology of quasicoherent sheaves on affine schemes. Čech cohomology of quasicoherent sheaves on separated Noetherian schemes. Higher direct images of quasicoherent sheaves are quasicoherent, under mild assumptions.
