Competence Certificate
The module will be completed by an oral exam of about 30 min.
Competence Goal
At the end of the module, participants are able to
- name and discuss basic concepts to study translation surfaces,
- describe and use in examples essential methods for the classification of translation surfaces,
- read recent research papers on translation surfaces and write a thesis in this field.
Prerequisites
None
Content
