SF2737 Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry 7.5 credits

Course offering missing for current semester as well as for previous and coming semesters
Headings with content from the Course syllabus SF2737 (Autumn 2010–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Ring and ideal theory, fraction rings, Noetherian rings, Noethers normalization, Nullstellensats, prime spectrum.

Intended learning outcomes

After completing the course the students are expected

  • to be familiar with fundamental results in commuatative algebra
  • to be able to translate algebraic results into geometric statements,
  • to be able to translate geometric results into algebraic statements.

Course Goal: After completing the course the students are expected to be confident with basic notions of ring theory, being familiar with the fundamental results for commutative rings. The student is also expected to be  able to interpret the algebraic constructions and results in geometric terms, and vice versa.
