Besides being an active field of research for many centuries, it plays a central role in number theory , differential geometry, group theory, mathematical physics and other branches of science. In McGill, algebraic geometry is represented by Peter Russell and Eyal Goren and is very much connected to the interests of other members of the department: Henri Darmon , Jacques Husrtubise and Niky Kamran . We are running a joint seminar with CICMA Activities in Algebraic Geometry. Initially, algebraic geometry was concerned with the study of curves in the plane and really started boosting up with the discovery of projective geometry . In this geometry, the line k k any field) is completed by adding one point at infinity resulting in the projective line P , the plane k is completed by adding a projective line at infinity to yield the projective plane P Thus P k U P k On a more conceptual level, the projective space | |
