Compact Riemann Surfaces: An Introduction to Contemporary Mathematics

by Jürgen Jost

Although Riemann surfaces are a time-honoured field, this book is novel in its broad perspective: the text systematically explores the connection with other fields of mathematics. The book can serve as an introduction to contemporary mathematics as a whole, as it develops background material from algebraic topology, differential geometry, the calculus of variations, elliptic PDE, and algebraic geometry. Compact Riemann Surfaces is unique among...
