Topics in topology: Twisted homology and Reidemeister torsion
Semester
WiSe 2025 / 26

Lecturer
Stefan Friedl

Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Vorlesung

German title
Ausgewählte Themen der Topologie

Contents
We will study twisted (co-) homology of topological spaces. These are (co-) homology groups of a
topological space that is equipped with a representation. To motivate the theory we will study knots
and links along the way. In particular we will define the Alexander module and Alexander polynomial
of knots and links. If time permits we will study Reidemeister torsion, which allows us to classify
lens spaces. This course will be continued with a 2h course in the summer term.

Literature
there will be lecture notes

Recommended previous knowledge
basics of fundamental groups, homology and ideally cohomology.
