Abstract
One of the main goals of algebraic topology is to answer the question whether two given topological spaces are homeomorphic or homotopy equivalent. This question and several related ones arise not only in topology, but also in mathematical physics, algebra and geometry of any kind. Classical cohomology and generalisations such as K-theory etc. is one of the main computational tools that in some cases allow one to answer this question
Learning Objectives
- The seminar is intended to introduce the subject area to the students, and to offer them an opportunity to prepare and give a talk
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Successful participants improve their presentation skills and prepare for participation in research projects in the subject area
