Selected topics in the algebraic topology of manifolds Semester SoSe 2017
Lecturer Markus Land
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Vorlesung
Contents We will study some properties of the homotopy type of manifolds: The homotopy invariance of Stiefel-Whitney classes (and numbers), the Steenrod-problem which deals with the question which classes in the homology of a manifold are represented by (sub)manifolds, and Rokhlin's theorem about signatures of 4-dimensional spin manifolds.
Recommended previous knowledge Algebraic Topology: Homotopy theory, (Co)homology, cup products, Poincare duality, characteristic classes, Steenrod operations, Spectra
