Course Description

This course is the continuation of Algebraic Geometry I. We discuss properties of morphisms of schemes (affine, finite, projective, proper, flat, smooth, étale), derived categories and cohomology of quasi-coherent sheaves, and some applications if time permits. Prerequisites are the language of schemes as covered last term.
