Course description and aims

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.

Student learning outcomes

To understand that a large part of the theory of K3 surfaces are dominated by second cohomology groups.

Keywords

K3 surface, Kummer surface, K3 lattice, Hodge isometry, Torelli theorem, Kaehler cone, period map, period domain, polarized K3 surface, Weyl group, nodal class

Competencies that will be developed

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