H. Movasati, R. Vilaflor,
A Course in Hodge Theory: Periods of Algebraic cycles
Some background will be taken from
- W.S. Massey, A basic course in algebraic topology, 1991, GTM, Springer.
- G. E. Bredon, Topology and Geometry, GTM, 1993
- R. Bott, L.W. Tu, Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology, GTM, 1982
-
Prerequisite: Complex analysis and basic topology. A basis knowledge of Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Topology would be useful,
however, I believe that such a basic knowledge can be learned during this course!
-
Final grades: 50% Exercises (there will be around 50 exercises) 50% Expositions. Those who need grade are supposed
to prepare two or three half an hour exposition of parts of the course starting from 28 September 2020.
-
Language: I will start the lectures in English, but the audience is allowed to ask questions in other languages (Portuguese, Spanish, Persian etc).
I will repeat the question in English for the whole audience. I might also switch to Portuguese for few minutes after a question.
-
Each lecture will be around 60 minutes (recorded). Apart from this there will be 30 minutes of discussion of exercises,
the content of previous lectures, etc (not recorded).
-
I will use my webcam and write in front of it. For a sample, see my seminar in
GADEPs.

Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 of [Mov]. Introduction to the history of elliptic/abelian/multiple integrals (periods).
What is the Hodge conjecture (one of the Millennium Prize Problems)?
I realized that right in the first day of my lectures, there will be no electricity (and so no internet at my apt.).
Therefore, the first lecture will be from my ipad which I can use it in any place with internet!
