Learning outcomes

Students will learn about holomorphic functions and Riemann surfaces, and will be able to apply this knowledge.

Course contents

Complex analysis in one variable: power series and analytic functions; holomorphic functions and Cauchy-Riemann equations; differential forms and integrations; Cauchy's integral formula and fundamental theorems of the theory of holomorphic functions of one complex variable.

Riemann surfaces theory: abstract surfaces; complex structures on surfaces; Riemann-Hurwitz formula; genus-degree formula; elliptic curves; hyperbolic surfaces. Holomorphic maps and forms, divisors and Riemann-Roch theorem.

Readings/Bibliography

  • Stein & Shakarchi, Complex Analysis
  • Miranda, Algebraic curves and Riemann surfaces
  • Teaching methods

    Lectures with blackboard.

    Assessment methods

    Students are admitted to the oral exam only if the written exam is sufficient (i.e.16/30). Both tests must be held in the same exam round.

    During the written exam, you are allowed to have with you two A4 sheets, handwritten in a reasonable size (no more than one line of text per 1/2 cm), containing any result deemed useful for the exam. No other reference materials, such as books or notes, are allowed.
