In this seminar series, we will give an introduction to some topics in minimal submanifold theory. In particular minimal embeddings of spheres into higher dimensional spheres especially as holomorphic curves. Topics to be covered are as follows.

RS 3: Minimal immersions into higher spheres.

RS 4: A Hermitian structure on the normal bundle.

We will be using the following resources.
