| Description: |
Contains lectures presented at the 3rd Regional Geometry Institute at Park City in 1993. This text offers an introduction to Hodge theory and intersection homology based on simple topological ideas of Lefschetz and an overview of the interactions between algebraic geometry and theoretical physics, which involve mirror symmetry and string theory. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume contains the lectures presented at the third Regional Geometry Institute at Park City in 1993. The lectures provide an introduction to the subject, complex algebraic geometry, making the book suitable as a text for second- and third-year graduate students. The book deals with topics in algebraic geometry where one can reach the level of current research while starting with the basics. The topics covered include the theory of surfaces from the viewpoint of recent higher-dimensional developments, providing an excellent introduction to more advanced topics such as the minimal model program. Also included is an introduction to Hodge theory and intersection homology based on the simple topological ideas of Lefschetz and an overview of the recent interactions between algebraic geometry and theoretical physics, which involve mirror symmetry and string theory. |
