Supplementary Notes on Elliptic Operators.

The prerequisites for this class are Functions of a Complex Variable (18.112) and Geometry of Manifolds (18.965).

There are four graded homework assignments.

There are no exams.

There are five segments in this course, each involving about 6 to 8 lectures.

1. Complex variable theory on open subsets of Cⁿ. Hartog, simply pseudoconvex domains, inhomogeneous C. R.
2. Theory of complex manifolds, Kaehler manifolds.
3. Basic theorems about elliptic operators, pseudo-differential operators.
4. Hodge Theory on Kaehler manifolds.
5. Geometry Invariant Theory.

The grade for this class is based on the four homework assignments.
