Part I: Jonas Hirsch - Harmonic maps
Part II: Dani Kaufman - Introduction to Mapping Class Groups
Abstract: The mapping class group is a symmetry group of a surface and appears naturally through out many topics in algebra, geometry and topology. Through this lecture series I will give an introduction to the study of these groups including their action on the curve complex and Teichmüller space, generation by Dehn Twists, their appearance as outer automorphism groups and the Nielson-Thurston classification.
I will generally follow "A Primer on Mapping Class Groups" by Farb and Margalit.
Part III: Bernd Rosenow - Statistical Physics of Learning
