Teacher: Braun Mathias Viktor Joachim

Language: English

Remark: Cours donné en alternance tous les deux ans


Summary

The goal of this course is to treat selected topics in complex analysis. We will mostly focus on holomorphic functions in one variable. At the end we will also discuss holomorphic functions in several variables

Content

- Sequences of holomorphic functions

- Functions with prescribed principal part

- Infinite products

- Holomorphic functions with prescribed zeros

- The Riemann mapping theorem

- Picard's great theorem

- The Riemann sphere

- An introduction to holomorphic functions in several variables

Keywords

Complex analysis, Mittag-Leffler theorem, Weierstrass product theorem, Riemann mapping theorem, Picard's great theorem, several complex variables

Learning Prerequisites

Required courses

Analysis I-III (especially basic theory of holomorphic functions)

Important concepts to start the course

Basic theory of holomorphic functions in one complex variable

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Understand the concepts and methods taught in the course and during the exercise classes
  • Apply those concepts and methods to analyze and solve problems in complex analysis

Teaching methods

Lectures with beamer presentation of the script and blackboard (for proofs, sketches, images, and interactive discussions). Exercise sessions with assistant

Expected student activities

Attending the lectures, solving the exercises

Assessment methods

Written exam

Dans le cas de l'art. 3 al. 5 du Règlement de section, l'enseignant décide de la forme de l'examen qu'il communique aux étudiants concernés.
