Algebraic Geometry: A Volume in Memory of Paolo Francia

by Mauro C. Beltrametti (Editor), Ciro Ciliberto (Editor), Claudio Pedrini (Editor), Fabrizio Catanese (Editor), Antonio Lanteri (Editor)

Overview

The volume consists of invited refereed research papers. The contributions cover a wide spectrum in algebraic geometry, from motives theory to numerical algebraic geometry and are mainly focused on higher dimensional varieties and Minimal Model Program and surfaces of general type.

A part of the articles grew out a Conference in memory of Paolo Francia (1951-2000) held in Genova in September 2001 with about 70 participants.
