A moduli space is a geometric space whose points parametrize some collection of geometric spaces. It is a classic result that we can construct a moduli space for 1-dimensional complex tori as the quotient . We will review this construction and discuss how to repackage it in the language of cohomology. Equipped with this new way of viewing the moduli of complex tori, we will give a rough outline of how one might be able to use Hodge theory to construct a moduli space in some more general situations. To aid in your understanding, donuts will be provided.
