Algebraic Geometry between Noether and Noether — a forgotten chapter in the history of Algebraic Geometry
Mathematicians and historians generally regard the modern period in algebraic geometry as starting with the work of Kronecker and Hilbert. But the relevant papers by Hilbert are often regarded as reformulating invariant theory, a much more algebraic topic, while Kronecker has been presented as the doctrinaire exponent of finite, arithmetical mathematics. Attention is then focused on the Italian tradition, leaving the path to Emmy Noether obscure and forgotten.There was, however, a steady flow of...
