The Journal of Algebraic Geometry is devoted to research articles in algebraic geometry, singularity theory, and related subjects such as number theory, commutative algebra, projective geometry, complex geometry, and geometric topology. This journal, published quarterly with articles posted individually before appearing in an issue, is distributed by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). In order to take advantage of some features offered for this journal, users will occasionally be linked to pages on the AMS website.
