Algebraic geometry and its applications: Proceedings of the 8th Algebraic Geometry Conference, Yaroslavlʹ 1992 (Aspects of mathematics)

This volume contains 18 papers from the Algebraic Geometry Conference, Yaroslavl, Russia, August 10-14, 1992. These conferences have a great tradition in Russia and have been held since 1979 in Yaroslavl every second year. This eighth conference is the first in which several foreign mathematicians participated. From the Russian side there was a large group of specialists in algebraic geometry and related fields - invariant theory, topology of manifolds, theory of categories and mathematical physics. Lectures on modern directions in modern algebraic geometry, such as the theory of exceptional bundles and helices on algebraic varieties, moduli of vector bundles on algebraic surfaces with applications to string theory, Hodge theory, problems of rationality in the invariant theory, topology of complex algebraic varieties and others are contained in this volume.
