Prof. D. Kotschick and Dr. J. Stelzig: Seminar on Compact Complex Surfaces

• Place and time (changed!): Mon 10--12 in B 039
• Summary: Compact complex surfaces are basic objects and examples for both complex geometry and the theory of four-manifolds. In this seminar we will study some basic properties of surfaces, look at important classes of examples, both algebraic and non-algebraic, and then go through the Enriques classification of algebraic surfaces. We will probably not prove the Kodaira classification in the non-algebraic or non-Kähler case, but all the surfaces appearing there will also appear in the seminar.

• Intended audience: Master and PhD students of mathematics and/or physics, particularly those who attended either Complex Geometry or Mathematical Gauge Theory II last semester.
