Algebraic Geometry Working Seminar
Changho Han, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo
“Periods I: Elliptic Curves and Hodge Theory”
This is the first talk in the series of two talks with the goal of introducing a method of
parametrizing isomorphism classes of certain varieties using analytic techniques; even if it’s
analytic, this particular construction (of using ”periods”) plays key roles in algebraic side of
algebraic geometry and number theory as well. In this first talk, I will showcase the standard
