Topological K-theory Semester WiSe 2026 / 27
Lecturer Bastiaan Cnossen
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Seminar
German title Topologische K-Theorie
Contents We will study topological K-theory, an invariant of topological spaces built out of vector bundles. Key properties are homotopy invariance, a form of excision, and Bott periodicity. We end the seminar with some classical applications: determining the precise number of linearly independent vector fields over spheres, and showing that the only real division algebras are the reals, the
complex numbers, the quaternions and the octonions.
Literature Allen Hatcher, Vector bundles and K-theory
Recommended previous knowledge Analysis, linear algebra, first course in topology
