Speakers and Syllabus

Courses and instructors

There were five courses with particulars as follows:

  1. Complex differential geometry, dealing with connections and curvature  on vector bundles culminating in the Kodaira embedding theorem. Vamsi Pingali (IISc Bangalore) was the instructor. The course was of 9 hour du ration (6 X 1.5 hrs).
  2. Riemann surfaces, dealing with complex analytic techniques and Fenchel Nielsen co-ordinates on Riemann surfaces, culminating in the Riemann Roch theorem. Subhojoy Gupta (IISc Bangalore) was the instructor. The course was of 9 hour duration (6 X 1.5 hrs).
  3. Gauge theory and Yang Mills, dealing with connections and curvature on principal bundles culminating in the Yang-Mills functionsl and ADS connections. Sushmita Venugopalan (IMSc Chennai) was the instructor.The course was of 6 hour duration (4 X 1.5 hrs).
  4.  Geodesic flow, dealing with hyperbolic dynamics and geodesic flow. Kingshook Biswas (ISI Kolkata) was the instructor. The course was of 6 hour duration (4 X 1.5 hrs).
  5. h-principle, dealing with the techniques evolved by Gromov and Eliashberg to solve the Smale-Hirsch immersion theorem. Dishant Pancholi (IMSc Chennai) was the instructor. The course was of 6 hour duration (4 X 1.5 hrs).
  6. All courses were pitched at a beginning 2nd year PhD level at standard Indian research institutes. Students had been selected so that they have the background to absorb such advanced material. As a consequence students systematically attended all lectures and were able to participate meaningfully. We feel that the program fulfilled what we had aimed at, viz. providing beginning PhD students in geometry a broad sampler of advanced topics in which they can do further study.
