Curves and Abelian varieties; proceedings.9780821843345 Curves and Abelian varieties; proceedings. International Conference on Curves and Abelian Varieties (2007: Athens, Georgia) Ed. by Valery Alexeev et al. American Mathematical Society The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, which it does with various publications and conferences as well as annual monetary awards to mathematicians. 2008 274 pages $79.00 Paperback Contemporary mathematics; v.465 QA565 A spring 2007 conference highlighted recent work in the study of curves, abelian varieties, and Hodge structures. Papers from the conference explore classical aspects, varieties with group action and their moduli, Hodge structures and normal functions, log schemes of Illusie-Fontaine-Kato, and tropical geometry. In addition to original articles, the book contains three surveys devoted to singularities of theta divisors, compactified Jacobians of singular curves, and 'strange duality' among moduli spaces of vector bundles on algebraic varieties. Some specific topics covered include isogenous isogenous /isog·e·nous/ (i-soj´e-nus) developed from the same cell. i·sog·e·nous adj. Having the same or similar origin, as organs or parts derived from the same embryonic tissue. principally polarized A one-way direction of a signal or the molecules within a material pointing in one direction. abelian A`bel´i`an n. 1. (Eccl. Hist.) One of a sect in Africa (4th century), mentioned by St. Augustine, who states that they married, but lived in continence, after the manner, as they pretended, of Abel. surfaces, theta dualities on moduli spaces of sheaves sheaves 1 n. Plural of sheaf. sheaves Noun the plural of sheaf sheaves sheaf , and universal principally polarized abelian variety of dimension 4. There is no subject index.
