Algebraic Geometry (PhD Reading Seminar) 2012-13
This reading course/seminar adresses all PhD students who want to broaden their background knowledge in Algebraic Geometry. We loosely follow Ravi Vakil's lecture notes, which can be found on his web page:
We will meet two hours a week, where one is devoted to a lecture and one is designated to a moderated discussion. The exact times will be up soon.

| 17 | 16.-20.1 | 10/11: Fibred products/ separated and proper morphism | Rory Potter |
| 18 | 23.-27.1 | 12/13: Dimension/smoothness | Michael Mourao |
| 19 | 30.1-3.2 | 14: (Quasi-)coherent sheaves | Tom Ducat |
