TitleThe differences between complex tori SpeakerAJ Stewart DateNovember 3, 2009 AbstractImagine that you have a large rectangular piece of flexible material and you glue opposite sides together. What kind of shape would you get? You would get a shape similar to a doughnut. The mathematical term for such a shape is a torus. You can generalize this construction of tori by identifying a lattice in the R^2. However we can view the complex numbers as R^2. So if we identify a lattice in C we still get a torus. This talk will present the construction of complex tori and the precise condition that would make two complex tori the same. Return to Undergraduate Seminar home page. |
