Topology of Algebraic Varieties and Singularities - AMS Book

Explore advanced mathematical research in this specialized volume dedicated to the field of algebraic geometry. This book collects invited expository and research papers from the conference held in Jaca, Spain, to honor Anatoly Libgober's 60th birthday. It serves as a comprehensive resource for mathematicians looking to understand the current status of topological questions within the discipline. The text is organized into four distinct sections to help readers navigate complex topics. It covers algebraic geometry and fundamental groups, braids and knots, hyperplane arrangements, and singularities. By bringing together diverse research papers, this volume provides a wide-ranging overview of the mathematical landscape. Published by the American Mathematical Society in cooperation with Real Sociedad, this work is an essential addition to any academic library focused on geometry and topology.
