This module is part of a long-term overall curriculum plan for the Master's programme, which ensures that modules with an amount of at least 20 CP are offered in all five fields each year. The module is offered at irregular intervals as part of this overall curriculum planning.

Students master advanced content and methods of algebraic geometry, in particular they are able to carry out independently very complex proofs in this area with reference to current research questions, requiring a very high level of mathematical expertise. They are able to define central terms of the respective theory and apply them in context. They can use examples to illustrate concepts and theorems.
Students are introduced to current research questions in the field of algebraic geometry. They will be able to recognise and assess further development opportunities and research goals.
Furthermore, students recognise further-reaching connections to previously acquired mathematical facts. They can transfer and apply the knowledge and methods they have learnt so far to deeper mathematical problem areas. Students also expand their mathematical intuition as a result of more intensive study.
In combination with other in-depth modules, they will be able to write their own research papers, e.g. a master's thesis in the field of algebraic geometry.
In the tutorials (in connection with lecture/seminar), students develop their ability to discuss mathematical topics and thus further prepare themselves for the requirements of the master's module, in particular for the technical discussion in the master's seminar presentation and the defence of their master's thesis.
The advanced content of teaching in the field of algebraic geometry can be:
Section theory, Abelian varieties, etale cohomology or hyperKähler geometry
This module prepares the content of a master's thesis.
Algebraic Geometry 1 and 2

(exercise)
Regular completion of the exercises, each with a recognisable solution approach, as well as participation in the exercise groups for the module's lecture. As a rule, participation in the exercise group includes presenting solutions to exercises twice after being asked to do so as well as regular contributions to the scientific discussion in the exercise group, for example in the form of comments and questions on the proposed solutions presented. The organiser may replace some of the exercises with face-to-face exercises. |
