This course will give an introduction to several topics in algebraic geometry, with emphasis on the theory of curves. Some possible topics include
- Curves (Hartshorne chapter IV)
- Hodge theory (Voisin's books)
- The Torelli theorem
- Moduli spaces of curves
To do this, we will also go through parts of Hartshorne Chapter III (cohomology). For the Hodge theory part, I will go through the necessary background on differential forms and De Rham cohomology.
