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

Standard lecture course

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

None required
