Course description and aims

Intersection theory is a fundamental theory in algebraic geometry originating from the number of solutions to systems of simultaneous equations, and it serves as a basis for theories such as the theory of motives, which has been rapidly developing in recent years. This lecture aims to study particularly fundamental concepts within intersection theory.

Student learning outcomes

(1) Obtain overall knowledge on basics in intersection theory and become proficient in applying them freely
(2) Attain deep understanding of applications of intersection theory

Keywords
