The question would benefit to avoid such reference to "Italian-style", but the OP has instead decided to closed his/her account (which possibly is one among several others — possibly meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/4200/flood-of-new-users is relevant.) | |
| May 31, 2019 at 9:56 | comment | added | user140765 | @YCor Interesting. I think the last remark of the OP defines it more or less clearly. Probably not the most precise definition in the world but precise enough I think. Personally to me, "Italian" would mean anything interesting in algebraic geometry prior to sheafs, Grothendieck and Serre, with Weil marking the boundary between the two (and as mentioned above, quite a lot of this stuff does not have much to do with Italy). You seem to be a French person, so I understand if this definition is annoying to you. | |

| May 30, 2019 at 21:53 | comment | added | YCor | I think "Italian-style" is way too vaguely defined to make the question meaningful. And defining it would require have a good knowledge of the development of algebraic geometry in this period, in and outside Italy... | |

| May 29, 2019 at 15:55 | comment | added | user141225 | @DenisNardin I don't think so. The exact sense is hard to formalize, but somehow, from the point of view of complex geometry, I don't think there is a lot of interesting stuff to say about elliptic curves, individually or in the sense of moduli. They can be fairly complicated arithmetically speaking (if they are defined over a number field), but that would be the topic of another conversation. | |

| May 29, 2019 at 14:27 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | Often called the Cayley-Salmon theorem, attributed to Arthur Cayley (English) and George Salmon (Irish), dating from the late 1840's. | |

| May 29, 2019 at 13:33 | comment | added | Ben McKay | The 27 lines are not Italian; they are Anglo-Irish. | |
