| Descent theory is the art of gluing local data together to global data. Beside of being an invaluable tool for the working geometer, the descent philosophy has changed our perception of space and topology. In this talk I will introduce the audience to the basic results of scheme and descent theory and explain how those can be applied to concrete examples. | |||
