Description

Homology Theory on Algebraic Varieties, Volume 6 deals with the principles of homology theory in algebraic geometry and includes the main theorems first formulated by Lefschetz, one of which is interpreted in terms of relative homology and another concerns the Poincare formula.

The actual details of the proofs of these theorems are introduced by geometrical descriptions, sometimes aided with diagrams. This book is comprised of eight chapters and begins with a discussion on linear sections of an algebraic variety, with emphasis on the fibring of a variety defined over the complex numbers.

The next two chapters focus on singular sections and hyperplane sections, focusing on the choice of a pencil in the latter case.

The reader is then introduced to Lefschetz's first and second theorems, together with their corresponding proofs.

The Poincare formula and its proof are also presented, with particular reference to clockwise and anti-clockwise isomorphisms.

The final chapter is devoted to invariant cycles and relative cycles. This volume will be of interest to students, teachers, and practitioners of pure and applied mathematics.
