(in Polish) Hyperbolic geometry, discrete groups, and manifolds 1000-1M26HG
This course will start by introducing hyperbolic space, its different models, and its geometry, before moving on to discrete groups of isometries, in particular in the hyperbolic plane, but also in higher dimensions, with a view towards the geometry of hyperbolic surfaces and manifolds.
Requirements: Undergraduate-level group theory and topology. Exposure to fundamental groups and covering spaces is helpful but not required; these notions will be recalled in the course
