For the course of D. Hernàndez-Ruipérez:

1) An introduction to sheaf theory and sheaf cohomology, close to the approach of the course can be found in:
2) For schemes, any text on Algebraic Geometry will be useful. Two examples are:
3) For abelian varieties, K3 surfaces and elliptic surfaces:
4) For relative Jacobians:

PREPARATORY LECTURE

A preparatory lecture on sheaves and sheaf cohomology (some knowledge of these topics will be assumed in the courses of U. Bruzzo and D. Hernàndez Ruipèrez) will be given by Carlos Florentino as the first session of new Working Seminar on Algebraic Geometry in mid January.

All are most wellcome!



The VENUE

The lectures will be held at the Lisbon Instituto Superior Técnico , Av. Rovisco Pais, Lisboa in room PA3 of Edifício de Pós Graduação (floor -1 under the Mathematics Department, near the Bar). The mathematics department is #5 in the plant of the Institute.
