Birational geometry — In mathematics, birational geometry is a part of the subject of algebraic geometry, that deals with the geometry of an algebraic variety that is dependent only on its function field. In the case of dimension two, the birational geometry of… … Wikipedia
Geometric invariant theory — In mathematics Geometric invariant theory (or GIT) is a method for constructing quotients by group actions in algebraic geometry, used to construct moduli spaces. It was developed by David Mumford in 1965, using ideas from the paper… … Wikipedia
Algebraic curve — In algebraic geometry, an algebraic curve is an algebraic variety of dimension one. The theory of these curves in general was quite fully developed in the nineteenth century, after many particular examples had been considered, starting with… … Wikipedia
Geometric genus — In algebraic geometry, the geometric genus is a basic birational invariant p g of algebraic varieties, defined for non singular complex projective varieties (and more generally for complex manifolds) as the Hodge number h n ,0 (equal to h 0, n by … Wikipedia
Algebraic surface — In mathematics, an algebraic surface is an algebraic variety of dimension two. In the case of geometry over the field of complex numbers, an algebraic surface is therefore of complex dimension two (as a complex manifold, when it is non singular)… … Wikipedia

Néron–Severi group — In algebraic geometry, the Néron–Severi group of a variety is the group of divisors modulo algebraic equivalence; in other words it is the group of components of the Picard scheme of a variety. Its rank is called the Picard number. It is named… … Wikipedia
Plücker formula — In mathematics, a Plücker formula is one of an extensive family of counting formulae, of a type first developed in the 1830s by Julius Plücker, that relate the extrinsic geometry of algebraic curves in projective space to intrinsic invariants… … Wikipedia
