Abstract
This purely expository article is a summary of the author’s lectures on topological, algebraic, and geometric properties of the zero schemes of sections of vector bundles. These lectures were delivered at the seminar Impanga at the Banach Center in Warsaw (2006), and at the METU in Ankara (December 11–16. 2006). A special emphasis is put on the connectedness of zero schemes of sections, and the “point” and “diagonal” properties in algebraic geometry and topology. An overview of recent results by V. Srinivas, V. Pati, and the author on these properties is given.
