Edoardo Sernesi (Università Roma Tre, Italy)
School “Moduli of Curves” to be held from 22th February till 4th March, 2016 in CIMAT, Guanajuato, Mexico.
Abstract: The classification problem. The notion of curve with general moduli. Some important families of curves. Non-trivial results without the definition of moduli. Brill-Noether, Severi, Petri. The classical vs. the functorial point of view. The modern approach. Some classical problems that are still open.
