Course description and aims

The aim of this lecture course is to familiarize students with the basics of surface theory, especially with the theory of Teichmuller. This course will be succeeded by [ZUA.B334 : Advanced courses in Geometry D].

Student learning outcomes

Understand the Teichmuller space from two viewpoints: hyperbolic structures and complex structures on the surface.

Keywords

Teichmuller space. Hyperbolic structures. Complex structures.

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow
