Geometry and Topology Seminar

The complex geometry of Teichmüller spaces and symmetric domains
Stergios Antonakoudis, Dr., Pure Mathematics & Mthematical Statistics , Univ of Cambridge,

From a complex analytic perspective Teichmüller space - the universal cover of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces - is a contractible bounded domain in a complex vector space. Likewise, Bounded Symmetric domains arise as the universal covers of locally symmetric varieties (of non-compact type). In this talk we will study isometric maps between these two important classes of bounded domains equipped with their intrinsic Kobayashi metric.
