Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The purpose of this course is to introduce methods to study projective varieties in (weighted) projective space via looking at the algebraic structure of the associated graded coordinate ring. Numerical invariants of the ring (its Hilbert function, so-called Hilbert numerator, etc) are related to the underlying space via Riemann-Roch type theorems. Algebraic structures of the ring (whether it is Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein, etc) are reflected in geometric properties of the embedding. The course will be very much examples-based; we will recall, and build up, the theory as we go along.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written examination or oral presentation.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Familiarity with basic notions of projective algebraic geometry will be assumed. All other concepts and necessary background results will be explained during the course.
