We had an organizational meeting on Tuesday, October 25, 3:30pm in room 48-436. Weekly meetings will be on Fridays at 10:00am in room 48-436. The first talk will be given on November 18th.
The seminar will be a continuation of the course Algebraic Geometry II taught in summer 2016. We will cover some advanced topics from the book of Quing Liu on Algebraic Geometry and Arithmetic Curves. We aim for the remaining sections 5.3.2-3 on connectedness and cohomology of fibers, section 4.3 on flat, étale and smooth morphisms, and sections 6.1-2 on sheaves of Kähler differentials and their relation with smoothness.
