M4P20 GEOMETRY I: ALGEBRAIC CURVES WITH ADVANCED STUDY (Term 2)

Dr P. Cascini

Syllabus
Plane algebraic curves including inflection points, singular and non-singular points, rational parametrisation, Weierstrass form and the Group Law on non-singular cubics. Abstract complex manifolds of dimension 1 (Riemann surfaces); elliptic curves as quotients of C by a lattice. Elliptic integrals and AbelŐs theorem.
