GANG Seminars | Fall 2003

The research seminar, taking place Fridays at 10:00 AM, is held jointly with TU-Berlin via video conferencing and focuses on the construction of conformal 2-tori in the 4-sphere. We discuss in detail the spectral curve of a conformal 2-torus, its asymptotic bahaviour and how one can reconstruct conformally immersed 2-tori from spectral data, including theta function formulas.

The student seminar, taking place Wednesdays at 10:00 AM, is organized by Aaron Gerding and focuses on Integrable Systems in Geometry.
