Supermoduli Space with Ramond punctures

On Friday, June 7th, at 2:30 pm in Room D of the old SISSA building in Miramare (basement).

Abstract: After a brief review of the background on super geometry and of Super Riemann surfaces and their punctures, I will review the proof (with Witten) that the supermoduli space of super Riemann surfaces is not projected for $ g \ge 5$, and discuss the more recent proof, with Ott, that the supermoduli space $M_{g,0,2r} $ of super Riemann Surfaces with Ramond punctures is also not projected, for all $ g \ge 5r+1$  and $r\ge 1$. If time allows, I will also discuss recent progress regarding the period map for super Riemann surfaces with Ramond punctures and its behavior for small genus.
