This book is the proceedings of the conference “Algebraic Geometry in East Asia” which was held in International Institute for Advanced Studies (IIAS) during August 3 to August 10, 2001.As the breadth of the topics covered in this proceedings demonstrate, the conference was indeed successful in assembling a wide spectrum of East Asian mathematicians, and gave them a welcome chance to discuss current state of algebraic geometry.Contents:Introduction to Arakelov Geometry (S Kawaguchi et al.)Double Covering of Smooth Algebraic Curves (C Keem)Algebraic Surfaces with Quotient Singularities — Including Some Discussion on Automorphisms and Fundamental Groups (J Keum & D-Q Zhang)Linear Series of Irregular Varieties (J A Chen & C D Hacon)Hecke Curves on the Moduli Space of Vector Bundles (J-M Hwang)Minimal Resolution via Gröbner Basis (Y Ito)Deformation Theory of Smoothable Semi Log Canonical Surfaces (Y Lee)Modular Curves and Some Related Issues (V NguyenKhac)On the Asymptotic Behavior of Admissible Variations of Mixed Hodge Structure (G Pearlstein)Degeneration of SL(n)-Bundles on a Reducible Curve (X-T Sun)Refined Brill–Noether Locus and Non-Abelian Zeta Functions for Elliptic Curves (L Weng)Readership: Graduate students, academics and researchers in algebra & number theory and geometry & topology.
