Complex algebraic geometry : [lecture notes form a summer program held in Park City, Utah, in 1993

This volume contains lectures presented at the third Regional Geometry Institute at Park City. The lectures provide an introduction to the subject, complex algebraic geometry, making the book suitable as a text for second and third year graduate students. The book deals with topics in algebraic geometry where one can reach the level of current research while starting with the basics. This volume provides an introduction to complex algebraic geometry. Topics covered include the theory of surfaces and more advanced topics such as the minimal model programme. An introduction to Hodge theory and intersection homology based on the simple topological ideas of Lefschetz is included. János Kollár, Editor.
