A Scrapbook of Complex Curve Theory PDF
by C. Herbert Clemens
Part of the University Series in Mathematics series
Description
This is a book of "impressions" of a journey through the theory of com- plex algebraic curves.
It is neither self-contained, balanced, nor particularly tightly organized.
As with any notebook made on a journey, what appears is that which strikes the writer's fancy.
Some topics appear because of their compelling intrinsic beauty.
Others are left out because, for all their impor- tance, the traveler found them boring or was too dull or lazy to give them their due.
Looking back at the end of the journey, one can see that a common theme in fact does emerge, as is so often the case; that theme is the theory of theta functions.
In fact very much of the material in the book is prepara- tion for our study of the final topic, the so-called Schottky problem.
More than once, in fact, we tear ourselves away from interesting topics leading elsewhere and return to our main route.
