The transcendental divide: from Riemann Surfaces to Algebraic Curves
- Samantha Fairchild (MPI MiS, Leipzig)
Abstract
How do you email a Torus? As a parallelogram with opposite sides identified, as an elliptic curve, or as a product of circles embedded in 3-space? We will discuss some presentations of Riemann surfaces, difficulties in moving between the presentations and interesting open problems that arise when considering the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.
