Read the document "towards final exam", it will help you prepare for the exam. ?The end of the list of topics in the document may change, depending on what we are able to cover in the lectures.?

All references are to the textbook.

Let me know by Monday March 2nd, which of the dates (17.3 and 18.3) you prefer. I will then set up a plan for each day.

Possibly in pairs, present during a lecture in up to 20 min one of the following (the list may be extended):

1. ?Exercise 1.11 ?(affine normal rational curve X), and show that X is determinantal algebraic set.

2. Exercise 2.11 + generalization from 3 variables, to n variables.

3. Prop 2.62 (the set of (m x n)- matrices of rank at most r is ?irreducible)

4. Prop 2.64 (the set of quadratic forms in n variables of rank at most r is irreducible)?

5. Prop 5.16. (d+3 general points in d-space lies on a unique rational normal curve of degree d)

6. Prop 5.20 The Segre product is a projective variety

7. The 5.31. ?Hilbert Nullstellensatz in the product of projective space.?

?

At most one pair for each topic, on a first come first serve order. ?Send an email to me when you have decided, and I will approve what is not taken and we find a date for the presentation.
