Reminder - Course "Some topological methods in moduli theory" by Prof. Fabrizio Catanese

[Fabio Perroni]

Professor Fabrizio Catanese (University of Bayreuth) will visit SISSA  
from November 25. until November 29.
He will give a mini course on "Some topological methods in moduli theory".

1. Projective varieties which are K(\pi,1)'s. Group actions on Abelian  
varieties and Bagnera-De Franchis varieties.

2. Orbifold fundamental groups and moduli spaces of curves with symmetries.

3. Group cohomology and homology, topological invariants of group  
actions on curves.

4. Inoue type manifolds and surfaces and their moduli spaces.
