Convex algebraic geometry free#
This part of the book can thus serve for a one-semester introduction to algebraic geometry, with the first part serving as a reference for combinatorial geometry. This chapter is a tutorial on techniques and results in free convex algebraic geometry and free real algebraic geometry (RAG). Many of the general concepts of algebraic geometry arise in this treatment and can be dealt with concretely. We call this area Convex Algebraic Geometry and it is devoted to the systematic study of convex semialgebraic sets. The second part introduces toric varieties in an elementary way, building on the concepts of combinatorial geometry introduced in the first part. This part also provides large parts of the mathematical background of linear optimization and of the geometrical aspects in Computer Science. Since the discussion here is independent of any applications to algebraic geometry, it would also be suitable for a course in geometry.
Each chapter addresses a fundamental aspect of convex algebraic geometry. The fist part of the book contains an introduction to the theory of polytopes - one of the most important parts of classical geometry in n-dimensional Euclidean space. convex geometry, algebraic geometry, and optimization is known as convex algebraic geometry. This text provides an introduction to the theory of convex polytopes and polyhedral sets, to algebraic geometry and to the fascinating connections between these fields: the theory of toric varieties (or torus embeddings). Contents: Convex Bodies.- Combinatorial Theory of Polytopes and polyhedral sets.- Polyhedral spheres.- Minkowski sum and mixed volume.- Lattice Polytopes and fans.- Toric Varieties.- Sheaves and projective toric varieties.- Cohomology of toric varieties.Spectrahedra spectrahedronis the intersecton of the cone of positivesemidenite matrices with a linear space.
