Algebraic Topology I Semester WiSe 2026 / 27
Lecturer Clara Löh
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Vorlesung
German title Algebraische Topologie I
Contents Algebraic topology studies topological spaces via algebraic invariants -- by modelling certain
aspects of topological spaces in the realm of algebra, e.g., by groups and group homomorphisms.
Classical examples include homotopy groups and (co)homology theories.
Algebraic topology has various applications, both in theoretical and
in applied mathematics, for instance, through fixed point theorems,
(non-)embeddability results, topological data analysis, and many
more. For example, Nash's proof of existence of certain equilibria in
game theory is based on a topological argument. Topics covered in this
course include:
-
What is algebraic topology?
-
The fundamental group and covering theory
-
The Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms
-
Singular homology
-
Cellular homology
-
Classical applications of (co)homology.
There will be suitable follow-up courses in summer 2027.
Literature This course will not follow a single book. Therefore, you should
individually compose your own favourite selection of books.
A list of suitable books will be provided in the lecture notes.
Recommended previous knowledge All participants should have a firm background in Analysis I/II
(in particular, basic point set topology),
in Linear Algebra I/II, and basic knowledge in group theory
(as covered in the lectures on Algebra).
Knowledge about manifolds as in Analysis IV is not necessary, but helpful.
Knowledge about basic homological algebra (as in the last two weeks
of
Kommutative Algebra in SS 2026
is not necessary, but helpful.
