Summary
A pioneering new nonlinear approach to a fundamental question in algebraic geometry
One of the crowning achievements of nineteenth-century mathematics was the proof that the geometry of lines in space uniquely determines the Cartesian coordinates, up to a linear ambiguity. What Determines an Algebraic Variety? develops a nonlinear version of this theory, offering the first nonlinear generalization of the seminal work of Veblen and Young in a century. While the book uses cutti…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[What Determines an Algebraic Variety?] is well written and contextualized. It offers a deep treatment of the reconstruction problem, including an ample discussion of the assumptions of the reconstruction theorem, and of related results and questions.”—Marta Pieropan, Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde
