18.979: Moduli Spaces
This Fall 2008 graduate geometry seminar is being taught by Prof. Mrowka. This Wiki is maintained by Ben.
References
The main references so far have been
- The Yang-Mills Equations on Riemann Surfaces (Atiyah, Bott),
- Instantons and Four-Manifolds (Freed, Uhlenbeck).
The Plan
Each student registered for a grade is to type up lecture notes for two or so lectures, and also correct mistakes, and ask/answer questions on this Wiki.
Lectures
If anyone is willing to donate their handwritten notes (on loose sheets of paper), I'd be happy to scan them in as a supplement my sloppy notes.
To stake a claim to a lecture, simply write up a draft of that lecture. (All changes will be attributed to your Wiki account.) No permission is required, but the more advanced students should leave the earlier/simpler lectures for the less advanced students.

Editing the Wiki
This Wiki is editable by anyone. Just create an account, sign in, and an "edit" tab will appear at the top.
I use a hacked version of the Wikipedia LaTeX rendering engine. You can make commutative diagrams via \xymatrix. Basically, you just enclose all LaTeX code in <math></math>. For an example page illustrating most features, see 10-15 Notes.
Tips:
- Be sure to save your work often! The "Save page" button is your friend. Otherwise, something might navigate you away from the Wiki, causing you to lose your work.
- Edit aggressively. All changes are reversible, so it's impossible to "screw things up."
- Hit the "Show preview" button to see what you're doing.
If you have trouble, feel free to let me know. If you need to use a package, a macro, or some command which isn't supported, I can easily hardcode it for you.
