Seminar: (Rational) Curves on (K3) surfaces 2011/12, Tuesday 2-4 pm, starting October 11
-
The aim is to understand what is known about rational
curves on K3 surfaces.
At the same time, this will
give us the chance to learn basic techniques
in deformation theory for (stable) curves, etc.
A thorough
knowledge of algebraic geometry is necessary, some familiarity
with K3 surfaces and the language of (various) moduli
spaces helpful.
