Complex Analysis Student Seminar City University of New York Graduate School and University Center Mathematics Program

The Complex Analysis Student Seminar is organized by Professors Linda Keen and Fred Gardiner.

This semester, the student complex analysis seminar will meet on Friday mornings from 10:30 to 12:00.  We will read several papers on Complex Dynamics and Teichmüller Theory together and students will lecture on them.  

Topics to be covered this semester:

1. The Schwarz Lemma
2. Koebe Distortion
3. Quasiconformal Mappings
4. Holomorphic Motions
