Theory of K3 surfaces are treated. K3 surfaces are compact simply connected Kaehler surface with vanishing Ricci curvature,
and play significant role in complex geometry. This course succeeds Advanced topics in Geometry G1 in 3Q.
To understand that a large part of the theory of K3 surfaces are dominated by second cohomology groups.
K3 surface, Kummer surface, K3 lattice, Hodge isometry, Torelli theorem, Kaehler cone, period map, period domain, polarized K3 surface, Weyl group, nodal class

They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
