Introduction to Algebraic Varieties I - The Zariski Topology

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Mohamed Omar, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Tue, Jan 20 2009, 1:10PM

This is the first talk in a series of talks on algebraic varieties. In this opening talk, we introduce a topological structure on affine varieties and investigate the correspondences between this topology, the geometry of the varieties, and their algebraic descriptions.
