Lecture series in algebraic geometry Algebraic Stacks Thursday, 10 August, 2.30-4.00 pm --------------------------------------------- Venue : Ramanujan Hall Host: Sudarshan Gurjar Speaker: Nitin Nitsure, TIFR, Mumbai (retd) Abstract: I deliver a course of lectures on Algebraic Stacks .The tentative plan is to cover the first 100 pages or so of `Champs Algebriques' by Laumon and Moret-Bailly, which is the standard reference for the subject. Examples, definitions, and statements of results will be discussed in detail, and proofs of the main theorems will be sketched, focusing on the key ideas.
