The second of a two-part volume, this collection offers a unifying vision of algebraic geometry, exploring its evolution over the last four decades as well as state-of-the art research. With chapters written by established leaders in the field as well as younger researchers, readers will gain a wide-ranging perspective of the area. The volume also commemorates the significant talent and contributions of Alberto Collino, whose scientific accomplishments helped shape the themes and topics covered. Perspectives on Four Decades of Algebraic Geometry, Volume 2 will be a valuable resource for those interested in the ways algebraic geometry has expanded over the years and continues to grow.
