Overview

This account of deformation theory in classical algebraic geometry over an algebraically closed field presents for the first time some results previously scattered in the literature, with proofs that are relatively little known, yet relevant to algebraic geometers. Many examples are provided. Most of the algebraic results needed are proved. The style of exposition is kept at a level amenable to graduate students with an average background in algebraic geometry.

<p>From the reviews: <p> One of the goals of Springer s Grundlehren series is to provide reliable and thorough accounts of certain portions of mathematics. This volume by Edoardo Sernesi does just that, and hence fits the series well. So this is a book for algebraic geometers; for them, it ll prove to be a useful resource and reference. (Fernando Q. Gouvea, MathDL, August, 2006)<p> Without any doubt, this is a masterly book on a highly advanced topic in algebraic geometry. The entire text is kept at a level that makes it suitable for graduate students . But even for experts and active researchers in algebraic geometry, this unique book on algebraic deformation theory offers a great deal of inspiration and new insights, too, and its future role as a standard source and reference book in the field can surely be taken for granted from now on. (Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1102 (4), 2007)<p> The book under review gives an introduction to classical deformation theory usingt
