Complex projective structures and applications
Abstract: We will discuss the theory of complex projective structures on surfaces (which are also known as Mobius structures) and applications of this theory to related areas of low-dimensional geometry and complex analysis. In particular we will explain connections with classical Teichmuller theory, 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry and Kleinian groups, and how these connections enable new approaches to some analytic and geometric problems.
