In this learning seminar series we will make an introduction to the holomorphic curves in the 6-dimensional sphere. Recall that the 6-sphere is the only sphere in higher dimesions which has an almost complex structure. See the Reference-2 for the history of the Hopf problem.

This allows us to talk about holomorphic curves inside it. Since they are complex curves of a complex dimension 3-space, they have an analogue of Frenet-Serre frame equations called Frenet-Boruvka formulas. In the round 6-sphere, null-torsion holomorphic curves are fundamental examples of minimal surfaces. 

We will be using the following resources.
