Abelian covers of algebraic varieties
- AIM:
- The purpose of this course is to introduce a technique that has proven useful, especially in the theory of algebraic surfaces, to construct interesting varieties and families of varieties and to test general conjectures.
- CONTENTS:
- Double covers. Finite group actions on complex manifolds, quotient singularities. Structure theorem for abelian covers. Natural deformations of abelian covers. Applications and examples.
