“The geometry of Yang-Mills fields, Part 08"

Throughout the spring 2013 term, we will (as a group) be reading through and lecturing on ”The Geometry of Yang-Mills Fields” by Sir Michael Atiyah. All are welcome to attend.

“Moduli for Kodaira Surfaces”

In this talk we will determine the moduli space of complex structures on a Kodaira surface. First, we will look at a construction of Kodaira surfaces and see what information we need to talk about its complex structures. Then, we proceed to a classification of complex structures on a given Kodaira surface by associating each complex structure to a holomorphic 2-form. This follows the paper ’Moduli for Kodaira Surfaces’ by Ciprian Borcea (Compositio Mathematica, 1984).
