PrerequisiteUndergraduate general topology and complex analysis.AbstractIn this course, we give a panorama of geometric structures a topological surface can be endowed with. We will discuss combinatorial decompositions, natural dynamical systems and moduli spaces of these structures. We will focus on geometric structures compatible with a structure of Riemann surface (translation structures, di...
Lecturer Intro.I was born in Wuhan and grew up in the little German town Göttingen, which was home to an extraordinary amount of great Mathematicians (and Nobel prize winners) including all the Mathematicians discussed in the course. I studied economics at the FU Berlin and Mathematics at TU Berlin from 2003-2007 and obtained my PhD from Eberhard Karls University Tübingen in 2012. Thereafter, I...
