Detailed Syllabus

Dr. Shibananda Biswas   We covered distance and angle preserving maps in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
Isometries in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and complex formula of plane isometries,
orientations, finite group of plane isometries as well as isometries in
$\mathbb{R}^n$ were discussed. A detailed discussion about matrix groups,permutation groups and classification of isometries was made along with (orthogonal) projection maps and its properties. Finally we discussed finite group of isometries in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and classification of conics under isometries.

Dr. Somnath Basu   We discussed the topic of isometries of surfaces embedded in
$\mathbb{R}^3$, starting with the basics of curves and surfaces in
$\mathbb{R}^3$, revisiting osculating circles (and planes), Serret-Frenet
formula. We discussed curvature (Gaussian and mean) of surfaces in variousforms.The first and second fundamental form was discussed, followed by various implications of the sign of the Gaussian curvature. We talked about Gauss-Bonnet theorem and the local-global phenomenon it illustrated. We also discussed isometries of a surface, geodesics and some relevant examples (for the three basic prototypes).

Dr. Sushil Gorai   We discussed conformal isometries, dealing with hyperbolicity of planar
domains. We started with classical Schwarz lemma, Schwarz-Pick lemma
and computation of the automorphism group of the unit disk and then discussed Poincar\'{e} metric on $\mathbb{D}$ in detail. Schwarz lemma
was revisited from the viewpoint of the Poincar\'{e} metric and its curvature.Some complex analysis results like Liouville's Theorem and Montel's Theorem were presented from a geometric viewpoint. A proof of the big Picard Theorem was given Hyperbolicity of the domain was emphasized throughout.
