Torelli theorems for special Horikawa surfaces and special cubic 4-folds
Abstract:
We will discuss recent work with Z. Zhang on Torelli theorems for bidouble covers of a smooth quintic curve and 2 lines in the plane, and cubic 4-folds arising from a cubic 3-fold and a hyperplane intersecting transversely in $P^4$. The talk for graduate students will be, ``Abelian Varieties and the Torelli Theorem''. I will explain what an Abelian variety is, and discuss the Torelli theorem for curves.
