Algebra II by Alexey L Gorodentsev

Algebra II by Alexey L Gorodentsev

This book is the second volume of an intensive Russian-style two-year undergraduate course in abstract algebra, and introduces readers to the basic algebraic structures - fields, rings, modules, algebras, groups, and categories - and explains the main principles of and methods for working with them.

“This is the second of a two-volume set of books offering a ‘Russian-style’ intensive introduction to abstract algebra… Each chapter contains both ‘exercises’ that are imbedded in the text, and ‘problems’ that are collected at the end of each chapter. … In summary, this book, like its predecessor, seems to have been written for mathematicians … .” (Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews, March, 2017) 

“This textbook contains fourteen chapters furnished with a lot of examples, counterexamples and numerous exercises, some of which are provided with commentary and hints, as well as problems for independent solution that were assigned as homework. … This textbook is self-contained, well written and recommended to undergraduate, graduate and Ph. D. students and it might be very useful for advanced algebra lectures as well.” (Marek Golasiński, zbMATH, Vol. 1365.13001, 2017) 

A.L. Gorodentsev is professor at the Independent University of Moscow and  at the Faculty of Mathematics at the National Research University „Higher School of Economics“. 

He is working in the field of algebraic and symplectic geometry, homological algebra and representation theory connected with geometry of algebraic and symplectic varieties.

He is one of the first developers of the “Helix Theory” and semiorthogonal decomposition technique for studying the derived categories of coherent sheaves.
