Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar is going to be split between a reading seminar covering the basics of Kähler geometry in the first part and looking at some more current literature in the second part (we will adapt the distribution between these two parts to the level of preparedness of the participants; I'm expecting at least some analysis on manifolds, and some knowledge of Riemannian geometry will be useful). The participants will present the assigned chapters to each other in the first part as well as give a summary of a research paper in the second part. We therefore train the presentation of material from a textbook source as well as reading and summarizing a research paper.

Assessment and permitted materials

At least two graded presentations during the semester (maybe more, depends on the number of participants).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The final grade will be the average of the individual presentation grades.

Examination topics

For the presentations: a clear presentation and suitable command of the material presented. We'll share a detailed rubric in the first session.
