Download or read book Representations of Fundamental Groups of Algebraic Varieties written by Kang Zuo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using harmonic maps, non-linear PDE and techniques from algebraic geometry this book enables the reader to study the relation between fundamental groups and algebraic geometry invariants of algebraic varieties. The reader should have a basic knowledge of algebraic geometry and non-linear analysis. This book can form the basis for graduate level seminars in the area of topology of algebraic varieties. It also contains present new techniques for researchers working in this area.
