Categories of Commutative Algebras

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'If you prefer your Zariski categories to be cosliced and your prelocal morphisms to be co-universal, or equivalently, interminable, then this is the book for you. If not, then you probably won't appreciate the elegance of the exposition.'
Mathematika, 39 (1992) 'reduced schemes correspond to schemes on the Zariski category RedCRing of reduced commutative rings, etc., thus making the notion of a scheme even more natural in the present context. The book formalizes this point of view in a very elegant way, providing a wide variety of well-chosen examples to make it attractive to a broad, mixed audience. The last chapter provides methods to construct new Zariski categories from known ones, proving, once again, the universality and wide applicability of the techniques covered in this book.'
