Moduli Spaces of Riemann Surfaces (Fall 2025)

 

What is this course about?

For discussing moduli of Riemann surfaces, besides via algebraic geometry only, one can enter this subject as well via complex analysis, differential geometry and combinatorial topology. We will touch on all of them in this course.​

 

Prerequisite

Basic knowledge of differentiable manifolds.
