Fondements de la Géometrie Algébrique

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FGA, or Fondements de la Géometrie Algébrique, is a book that collected together seminar notes of Alexander Grothendieck. It is an important source for his pioneering work on scheme theory, which laid foundations for algebraic geometry in its modern technical developments. It contained material on descent theory, and existence theorems including that for the Hilbert scheme. The Technique de descente et théorèmes d'existence en géometrie algébrique is one series of seminars within FGA.

Like the bulk of Grothendieck's work of the IHES period, duplicated notes were circulated, but the publication was not as a conventional book.
