"Higgs Bundles"
Last week, Robert introduced the notion of Higgs bundle over Riemann surfaces. In this talk, I will provide some background on Higgs bundles and explain how they are related to the Yang-Mills equations and the cotangent bundle of the moduli space of stable bundles. I will also discuss how Higgs bundles can be generalized to higher-dimensional complex manifolds.

"Julia Sets"
In this talk, we will introduce the concept of Julia sets and some of the basic properties and their connections to the Mandelbrot set. We will introduce the concept of self-similarity and quasi-self-similarity, and we will give some interesting results. The talk will be closed with some of the open questions related to the study of Julia sets.
This seminar will be held jointly online and in person:
