A Riemann surface is a two-real-dimensional manifold with holomorphic coordinate transformations.
The moduli space of Riemann surfaces is a geometric space whose points represent classes of conformally equivalent Riemann surfaces. Teichmüller space is a universal covering of the moduli space. Each point in it is an isomorphism class of 'marked' Riemann surfaces.
This course will be completed with ''Advanced topics of Analysis F1'' in the next quarter. Our goal is to understand Ahlfors’ method
which is the first to derive the complex structure of Teichmüller space. To prepare for it, several basic tools and theorems about Riemann surfaces will be introduced in this course.
At the end of this course, students are expected to:
-- understand the moduli space and the Teichmüller space of the torus
-- be familiar with differential forms on Riemann surfaces
