Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This work carefully examines liaison theory and deficiency modules from basic principles, taking a geometric approach. The focus is on the role of deficiency modules in algebraic geometry, particularly with respect to liaison theory, which is treated here as a subject in itself and as a tool. The structure and classification of liaison classes are explored, and a variety of ways are described in which liaison has been applied to geometric questions. The classical study of liaison via complete intersections is compared and contrasted with the relatively new study of the subject via arithmetic Gorenstein ideals.

Recensione

"Suitable for a graduate course in algebraic geometry...numerous discussions about the historical development, and...an ample and useful list of references to important original sources... Relations between linked schemes...are explained in great detail, with complete proofs and numerous examples. ...The book ends with a section which gives a flavour of some of the ways in which liaison theory has been applied in the literature. Many more applications and examples are spread throughout the text. They contribute to a lively and inspiring style. This book is a worthwhile addition to every algebraic geometer's library."

--Mathematical Reviews

"A highly specialized monograph that provides a very good introduction to contemporary research in the fields of liaison theory and deficiency modules... The author pays great attention to motivation and the geometric aspects of the theory. There are many examples through which the reader is introduced into the theory, thereby stimulating research in the field... Useful both for specialists and for postgraduate students."
