Algebraic Topology I Semester WiSe 2024 / 25
Lecturer Denis-Charles Cisinski
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Vorlesung
German title Algebraische Topologie I
Contents Algebraic Topology is the systematic study of topological spaces through algebraic invariants. We will study the simplest one first: the set of connected components.
We will go further in our study of connectivity through the theory of coverings and their classification by Poincaré's fundamental group.
In order to reach higher dimensional algebraic invariants, we will go in the direction of singular homology. We will see applications such as several proofs of the fundamental theorem of Algebra, or Brouwer's fixed point theorem
