Introduction Algebraic Geometry by Lang Serge (56 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Author Serge Lang defines algebraic geometry as the study of systems of algebraic equations in several variables and of the structure that one can give to the solutions of such equations. The study can be carried out in four ways: analytical, topological, algebraico-geometric, and arithmetic. This volume offers a rapid, concise, and self-contained introductory approach to the algebraic aspects of the third method, the algebraico-geometric. The treatment assumes only familiarity with elementary algebra up to the level of Galois theory. Starting with an opening chapter on the general theory of places, the author advances to examinations of algebraic varieties, the absolute theory of varieties, and products, projections, and correspondences. Subsequent chapters explore normal varieties, divisors and linear systems, differential forms, the theory of simple points, and algebraic groups, concluding with a focus on the Riemann-Roch theorem. All the theorems of a general nature related to the foundations of the theory of algebraic groups are featured. AUTHOR: French-born Serge Lang (19272005) graduated from Cal Tech and received his PhD from Princeton, where he studied under Emil Artin. He taught at the University of Chicago, Columbia, and Yale. Rapid, concise, self-contained introduction assumes only familiarity with elementary algebra. Subjects include algebraic varieties; products, projections, and correspondences; normal varieties; differential forms; theory of simple points; algebraic groups; more. 1958 edition.

"Introduction to Algebraic and Abelian Functions is a self-contained presentation of a fundamental subject in algebraic geometry and number theory." (Verlagstext) Serge Lang (* 19. Mai 1927 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye bei Paris; gestorben 12. September 2005 in Berkeley, USA) war ein französisch-amerikanischer Mathematiker. Er lebte den größten Teil seines Lebens in den USA. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seine Arbeiten zur Algebraischen Geometrie und Zahlentheorie und als Autor vieler Lehrbücher. Er war Mitglied des Autorenkollektivs Nicolas Bourbaki. Lang wuchs in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in der Nähe von Paris auf. Sein Vater war Geschäftsmann und seine Mutter die Konzertpianistin Helene Schlepianoff. Er hatte einen Zwillingsbruder, der Basketball-Coach wurde, und eine Schwester, die Schauspielerin wurde. Nach der teilweisen Besetzung Frankreichs durch deutsche Truppen emigrierte seine Familie mit ihm in die USA. 1946 erwarb Lang einen Bachelor in Physik am California Institute of Technology. Nach Ableistung eines 18-monatigen Wehrdiensts bei der US-Army von 1946 bis 1947 (bei dem er teilweise in Italien und Deutschland stationiert war) studierte er an der Princeton University, wo er 1951 unter Emil Artin, dessen Gesammelte Werke er auch später mit herausgab, mit einer Arbeit zum Thema On Quasi Algebraic Closures promoviert wurde. Im gleichen Jahr erhielt er dort seine erste Dozentenstelle. Von 1952 bis 1953 war er am Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton tätig; es folgte bis 1955 eine Dozentur an der University of Chicago. Ab 1955 hatte er eine langjährige Professur an der Columbia-Universität mit Gastprofessuren an den Universitäten Harvard und Princeton. Nachdem er aufgrund eines Protests an der Columbia-Universität kündigte, lehrte er ab 1972 in Yale, bevor er sich 2005 zur Ruhe setzte. Sein Hauptarbeitsgebiet war die diophantische Geometrie (ein Wort, das er selbst geprägt hat), also das Verbindungsgebiet zwischen Zahlentheorie und Algebraischer Geometrie. Hier ist er auch für sein Talent, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen, seine zahlreichen Vermutungen, bekannt. In den 1950er Jahren beschäftigte er sich u. a. mit den geometrischen Analoga der Klassenkörpertheorie (das heißt, er studierte diese über Funktionenkörpern statt über Zahlkörpern wie im klassischen Fall), in den 1960er Jahren u. a. mit der Theorie diophantischer Approximationen und der Theorie transzendenter Zahlen. Später arbeitete er u. a. über die Konstruktion von Zahlkörpern mit Modulfunktionen (modular units) und Rolf Nevanlinnas Wertverteilungstheorie. Seine zahlreichen Lehrbücher sind teilweise Standardwerke und manchmal sogar die (fast) einzigen Lehrbücher über ein bestimmtes Gebiet (z. B. seine Bücher über diophantische Geometrie und Arakelov-Geometrie). Beispielsweise wurde sein sehr einflussreiches Buch Algebra (zuerst 1965) zum Vorbild aller späteren Lehrbücher auf diesem Gebiet. Sein vielleicht meistverbreitetes Lehrbuch ist sein Undergraduate calculus. Es ging das scherzhafte Gerücht, "Bourbaki" hätte aufgegeben, Bücher zu schreiben, weil Lang das übernommen hatte (eine Besprechung nannte ihn sogar einen "Ein-Mann-Bourbaki"). Sein Buch über Gruppen-Kohomologie entstand aus einem entsprechenden Bourbaki-Projekt. (Wikipedia) In englischer Sprache. XI, (I), 260 pages. Groß 8° (160 x 235mm).
