What's on the MEGA poster?
- Bernd Sturmfels (MPI MiS, Leipzig)
Abstract
On the right side of the blue MEGA poster, we see three plaster models that were built around 1890 by PhD students of Sophus Lie at Leipzig University. This thread was picked up in the 2021 paper on Theta Surfaces with Daniele Agostini, Türkü Celik and Julia Struwe. This talk is an introduction that merges historical and current perspectives.
