Selected Papers II

Beschreibung

These articles span the years from 1961-1980 while David Mumford was an active researcher in the area of algebraic geometry. This volume includes many important papers previously omitted. Mumford's correspondence with Grothendieck is also included.

Mumford is a well-known mathematician and winner of the Fields Medal, the highest honor available in mathematics

Many of these papers are currently unavailable, and the correspondence with Grothendieck has never before been published

Includes many important papers which were not published in volume I, including his paper with Deligne from 1969

Many of these papers are no longer available elsewhere

Includes correspondence between Mumford and Grothendieck, arguably the most important figure in 20th century algebraic geometry

From the reviews:

"The present volume contains thirty selected articles of D. Mumford on topics in algebraic geometry … . must be seen as a highly valuable and welcome collection for every researcher in the field. … Further generations of researchers in this field, graduate students, mathematical physicists, and mathematical historians will profit a great deal from this collection of selected papers … . this is why this volume is at least a must for any relevant library." (Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1051)

“Selected Papers Volume II collects twenty-nine articles by Mumford, along with four previously unpublished pieces and dozens of letters between Mumford and Grothendieck. … this book the same way I felt about the first volume: this is a book that most algebraic geometers – and all libraries – will not want to do without.” (Darren Glass, The Mathematical Association of America, October, 2010)

“The present second volume of David Mumford’s papers on algebraic geometry, including his correspondence with Alexandre Grothendieck over a period of twenty-five years, must be seen as another hoard of Jewels from his treasury of mathematical writings. … this book contains a wealth of new information for the reader, and it is an utmost useful reference book moreover. … this book decidedly ought to be added to the private library of any algebraic geometer.” (Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1211, 2011)
