Advanced Lectures in Mathematics (ALM) 24. Somerville, MA: International Press; Beijing: Higher Education Press (ISBN 978-1-57146-257-2/pbk; 978-1-57146-265-7/set). xv, 578 p. (2013).
Publisher’s description: The Handbook of Moduli, comprising three volumes, offers a multi-faceted survey of a rapidly developing subject aimed not just at specialists but at a broad community of producers of algebraic geometry, and even at some consumers from cognate areas. The thirty-five articles in the Handbook, written by fifty leading experts, cover nearly the entire range of the field. They reveal the relations between these many threads and explore their connections to other areas of algebraic geometry, number theory, differential geometry, and topology. The goals of the Handbook are to introduce the techniques, examples, and results essential to each topic, and to say enough about recent developments to provide a gateway to the primary sources. Many articles are original treatments commissioned to bridge gaps in the literature and to make important problems accessible to a wide audience for the first time, and many others illustrate yogas and heuristics that experts use privately to guide intuition or simplify calculation, but that do not appear in published work aimed at other specialists.
This is the first of three volumes constituting the Handbook of Moduli.
The articles of this volume will be reviewed individually. For Vol. II and III see [Zbl 1260.14003; Zbl 1260.14002].
