Moduli of Curves and Abelian Varieties: the Dutch Intercity Seminar on Moduli - Aspects of Mathematics Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st Ed. 1999 edition

Jacket Description/Back: The Dutch Intercity Seminar on Moduli, which dates back to the early eighties, was an initiative of G. van der Geer, F. Oort and C. Peters. Through the years it became a focal point of Dutch mathematics and it gained some fame, also outside Holland, as an active biweekly research seminar. The tradition continues up to today. The present volume, with contributions of R. Dijkgraaf, C. Faber, G. van der Geer, R. Hain, E. Looijenga, and F. Oort, originates from the seminar held in 1995--96. Some of the articles here were discussed, in preliminary form, in the seminar; others are completely new. Two introductory papers, on moduli of abelian varieties and on moduli of curves, accompany the articles. Topics include a stratification of a moduli space of abelian varieties in positive characteristic, and the calculation of the classes of the strata, tautological classes for moduli of abelian varieties as well as for moduli of curves, correspondences between moduli spaces of curves, locally symmetric families of curves and jacobians, and the role of symmetric product spaces in quantum field theory, string theory and matrix theory. Table of Contents: - Gerard van der Geer / Frans Oort: Moduli of Abelian Varieties: A Short Introduction and Survey. - Carel Faber/ Eduard Looijenga: Remarks on Moduli of Curves. - Robbert Dijkgraaf: Fields, Strings, Matrices and Symmetric Products. - Carel Faber: A Conjectural Description of the Tautological Ring of the Moduli Space of Curves. - Gerard van der Geer: Cycles on the Moduli Space of Abelian Varieties. - Richard Hain: Locally Symmetric Families of Curves and Jacobians. - Eduard Looijenga: Correspondences between Moduli Spaces of Curves. - Frans Oort: A Stratification of a Moduli Space of Polarized Abelian Varieties in Positive Characteristic. Biographical Note: Prof. Dr. Eduard Looijenga ist Mathematiker an der Universitat Utrecht, Niederlande. Dr. Carel Faber ist jetzt am Max-Planck-Institut fur Mathematik in Bonn tatig."Description for Sales People: Ein Sammelband mit Originalarbeiten uber ein aktuelles Thema aus der algebraischen Geometrie, herausgegeben von zwei hollandischen Mathematikern. Das "Dutch Intercity Seminar on Moduli" geht auf die fruhen 80ger Jahre zuruck und wurde von G. van der Geer, F. Oort und C. Peters initiiert. Uber die Jahre wurde es ein Brennpunkt der Mathematik in Holland und auch im Ausland beruhmt. Der vorliegende Band, mit Beitragen von R. Dijkgraaf, C. Faber, G. van der Geer, R. Hain, E. Looijenga und F. Oort, geht auf das in den Jahren 1995-96 abgehaltene Seminar zuruck . Einige der Themen dieses Buches wurden in vorlaufiger Form in dem Seminar diskutiert, andere sind vollstandig neu hinzugekommen. Die ersten zwei fur dieses Buch verfassten Artikel geben eine allgemeine Einfuhrung in das Gebiet und einen Uberblick uber den heutigen Stand und erleichtern so dem Leser die Lekture der dann folgenden Forschungsbeitrage.
