Graduate Lectures 1/12

September 24, 2025

Sebastian Baader

Prof. Sebastian Baader (Universität Bern)

Claudia Stadlmayr (Université de Neuchâtel) and Hugo Parlier (Université de Fribourg)

The purpose of these traditional lectures is to present recent important developments in mathematics to a large audience of graduate students and young researchers. The lecturers are chosen as experts in their field, with demonstrated pedagogical talent.

The two lectures are held by Claudia Stadlmayr (Uni Neuchâtel) and Hugo Parlier (Uni Fribourg). They will cover the classical subjects of hyperbolic surfaces and singularities of algebraic surfaces. The results and methods will range from topology and geometry to algebra and number theory, from classical to contemporary. There will be approximately 12 double lectures of 90 minutes on

Wednesdays (13:15-14:45 & 15:00-16:30), at the University of Bern.

Meeting point: Wednesday, September 24, 13:15, Room B78, building ExWi
(Sidlerstrasse 5).

Here is the preliminary schedule with course titles; course summaries will follow with the second
announcement.

Wednesday, 13h15-14-45: Prof. Dr. Hugo Parlier
Title: Getting a handle on hyperbolic surfaces

Wednesday, 15h00-16h30: Dr. Claudia Stadlmayr
Title: Singularities of Algebraic Surfaces

University of Bern, building ExWi, Sidlerstrasse 5, Room B78
