Lectures on Vector Bundles over Riemann Surfaces. (MN-6)

These notes are based on a course of lectures given at Princeton University during the academic year 1966–1967. The topic is the analytic theory of complex vector bundles over compact Riemann surfaces. It begins with a general discussion of complex analytic vector bundles over compact Riemann surfaces from the point of view of sheaf theory. It goes on to discuss a descriptive classification of complex analytic vector bundles of rank 2 on a compact Riemann surface and follows with a discussion of flat vector bundles over compact Riemann surfaces. Two appendices cover some questions that arise.

Robert C. Gunning is professor emeritus of mathematics at Princeton University. His books include Lectures on Riemann Surfaces and An Introduction to Analysis (both Princeton).
