In Semester 1 2025, I am organising a reading group on algebraic geometry at the University of Adelaide. Our group is meeting each week at 2pm on Wednesdays in Santos Pet. Eng 108. We will have 1 hour talks followed by a discussion of the exercises.
Although there a many good introductory references, we are following Gathmann's notes. Reading Gathmann's notes requires an understanding of rings and topology taught at the level of PURE MTH 3007 and 3002. Anyone is welcome to join this reading group but it is probably best suited for people who have taken these courses.
The goal of this reading group is to go through chapters 1-10. We will adjust the pace as needed and will navigate the material according to the interests of those attending
If you would like to give a talk email me at a1981079@adelaide.edu.au. Below is the current schedule:
