Talk:Chow ring/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In accordance with general principles, this article needs references. Fulton's Intersection Theory might work. I would also like to see history: this is certainly a subject with a past, and at the very least one wants to know why it's named after Chow, who (if not him; probably not, knowing math) originated it, and with some more ambition, to whom the main theorems are due (in particular, if they have "classical" and "post-Grothendieck" versions). And in even more generality, I think this article might benefit from the broad vision of someone who knows that the subject is about: I know it as little more than a collection of strange definitions and some basic theorems, but a real algebraic geometer could give it a great deal more context within mathematics. The article is way too complete to be just a "Start", which is why I've awarded it a "B"; it doesn't seem to merit a "B+" given these criticisms. Ryan Reich 21:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
