Applications of Algebraic Geometry to Coding Theory, Physics and Computation (NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, 36) [Hardcover] Ciliberto, Ciro; Hirzebruch, Friedrich; Miranda, Rick and Teicher, Mina

An up-to-date report on the current status of important research topics in algebraic geometry and its applications, such as computational algebra and geometry, singularity theory algorithms, numerical solutions of polynomial systems, coding theory, communication networks, and computer vision. Contributions on more fundamental aspects of algebraic geometry include expositions related to counting points on varieties over finite fields, Mori theory, linear systems, Abelian varieties, vector bundles on singular curves, degenerations of surfaces, and mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds.
