The book is devoted to geometry of algebraic varieties in projective spaces. Among the objects considered in some detail are tangent and secant varieties, Gauss maps, dual varieties, hyperplane sections, projections, and varieties of small codimension. Emphasis is made on the st…

One of the major discoveries of the last two decades of the twentieth century in algebraic geometry is the realization that the theory of minimal models of surfaces can be generalized to higher dimensional varieties. This generalization, called the minimal model program or Mori'…
"Polynomial Completeness in Algebraic Systems provides a coherent presentation of the subject, including primality, functional completeness, and affine completeness, as well as their several variations and generalizations. The authors focus on the recently developed theory of af…
