After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand scientific papers containing concepts such as "Kähler manifold" (relevant in supersymmetric field theories) or "Calabi-Yau manifold" (the main geometric ingredient of string compactifications) and to perform simple computations in that area.

Complex manifolds

Lecture and homework assignments

The plan is to have the course in "presence mode". The second lecture will be in the seminar room in 9th floor (yellow area), starting at 3:15 pm.
