Algebraic Geometry in East Asia

The international conference “Algebraic Geometry in East Asia, III” was held at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study in Seoul, Korea in November 2008. The 21 invited lectures (including 4 lectures by Europeans and Americans) were presented at the conference.This volume consists of 3 survey articles and 10 research articles. The papers explore a wide variety of topics, including algebraic surfaces, Fano varieties, variety of general type, bundles, Cremona groups, Mordell-Weil groups, fundamental group scheme, quantum rings.Published by Mathematical Society of Japan and distributed by World Scientific Publishing Co. for all markets except North America
