Title |
Moduli of Riemann surfaces with a differential |
Abstract |
The moduli space of complex curves together with a differential naturally appears as an object of study in algebraic and symplectic geometry, and is the phase space of Teichmuller dynamics. We will discuss degenerations of differentials, as Riemann surfaces degenerate to nodal ones, and resulting compactifications of moduli, with applications to understanding the geometric, dynamical, and topological properties of moduli spaces. |
