Complex algebraic surface

Beauville, Arnaud

Complex algebraic surface - 2nd ed. - Cambridge: CUP, c1996. - ix, 132p. : ill. ; 24cm - London mathematics society student texts Vol. 34 .

Includes appendices, bibliographic references and subject index.

Developed over more than a century, and still an active area of research today, the classification of algebraic surfaces is an intricate and fascinating branch of mathematics. In this book Professor Beauville gives a lucid and concise account of the subject, following the strategy of F. Enriques, but expressed simply in the language of modern topology and sheaf theory, so as to be accessible to any budding geometer. This volume is self contained and the exercises succeed both in giving the flavour of the extraordinary wealth of examples in the classical subject, and in equipping the reader with most of the techniques needed for research.
