		Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which, as the name suggests, combines abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with geometry.
		In algebraic geometry, the geometric objects studied are defined as the set of zeroes of a number of polynomials: meaning the set of common zeroes, or equally the set defined by one or several simultaneous polynomial equations.
		Commutative algebra (as the study of commutative rings and their ideals) was developed by David Hilbert, Emmy Noether and others, also in the 20-th century, with the geometric applications in mind.

		Algebraic geometry is the study of algebraic objects using geometrical tools.
		Algebraic groups are essentially matrix group schemes, and as such allow the tools of algebraic geometry to be applied to their study.
		Not every abelian variety is a Jacobian, but, for example, if one can find a curve lying on an abelian variety, there is a canonical homomorphism from the Jacobian of that curve to the abelian variety.

		In algebraic geometry, the algebraic variety was the classical object of study.
		An affine algebraic variety was an irreducible algebraic set in some affine space, over an algebraically closed field K. It therefore was given by a co-ordinate ring that was an integral domain, a quotient of a polynomial ring over K by a prime ideal.
		An abstract algebraic variety would be a particular kind of locally ringed space, namely such that every point has a neighbourhood, as ringed space, of type Spec(R) (spectrum of a ring) with R the co-ordinate ring of an affine algebraic variety of the kind discussed in the first paragraph.

		Algebraically, generic values of a parameter can be simulated by introducing a new transcendental element to the field of constants.
		Algebraic Geometry is intimately connected with projective geometry, commutative algebra, complex analysis, semi-algebraic geometry, singularity theory, topology, and number theory.
		Algebraic geometry does usually not deal with problems involving transcendental functions (sin, log, exp; these are dealt with in analytic geometry) and order relations (<,>: these are dealt with in semi-algebraic geometry).

	Valery Alexeev - Families of algebraic varieties associated with cell decompositions

		The parameter spaces of families of the second type for various cell decompositions fit together into a moduli space, a proper algebraic variety itself.
		One application of this construction is a canonical geometric compactification of the moduli of principally polarized abelian varieties.

		Given a subset V of which we know is a variety, it would be nice to determine the set of polynomials which generates it.
		A regular function on an algebraic set V contained in is defined to be the restriction of a regular function on, in the sense we defined above.
		It may seem unnaturally restrictive to require that a regular function always extend to the ambient space, but it is very similar to the situation in a normal topological space, where the Tietze extension theorem guarantees that a continuous function on a closed subset always extends to the ambient topological space.

		It was the study of algebraic functions of one variable that led to the introduction of Riemann surfaces, and the later to a consideration of algebraic functions of two variables.
		Algebraic geometry is a huge and central subject that one cannot afford to waste time with the basics.

		The project aims to investigate the density of rational points on algebraic varieties from the perspective of an analytic number theorist.
		Indeed the modern field of Arithmetic Geometry is ultimately concerned with the equivalent issue of the distribution of integral and rational points on algebraic varieties.
		For many algebraic varieties we expect there to be infinitely many integral points, and for many others we expect, but cannot prove, that there should be only finitely many such points.

		In the study of actions of algebraic groups on algebraic varieties, questions often arise concerning the fixed point spaces of elements or subgroups of the algebraic group in question.
		All simple algebraic groups are generated by a collection of so-called fundamental subgroups, which are subgroups SL(2) defined in terms of the root system of the algebraic group in question.
		Many papers have been written on the structure of subgroups which contain certain elements of these fundamental subgroups; probably the most studied are the root elements, which are unipotent elements in such SL(2) subgroups.

		Algebraic geometry occupies a central place in modern pure mathematics, with connections to number theory, theoretical physics and differential geometry in particular.
		For example, elliptic curves and modular curves play vital roles in arithmetic; startling advances in the theory of higher-dimensional varieties and moduli spaces have emerged from, and contributed to, physics; and the theory of real 4-manifolds has similarly interacted with complex algebraic surfaces.
		In part because of its many connections, algebraic geometry is often seen as being hard to learn, and is left in the hands of specialists.
