Fakultät für Mathematik Universität Regensburg
Seminar: Topology vs. Combinatorics
Semester
WiSe 2018 / 19

Lecturer
Clara Löh

Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Seminar

Contents
Many topological objects admit simple combinatorial descriptions. This simplifies the computation of invariants from algebraic topology.

Conversely, we can enhance combinatorial objects to topological objects and then analyse these with methods from algebraic topology. For example, this leads to an elegant approach to colouring and embedding problems for graphs.
does RP2 embed into R3?
In this seminar, we will study both combinatorial aspects of algebraic topology and applications of algebraic topology in discrete mathematics.

Recommended previous knowledge
This seminar accompanies the Algebraic Topology course; no previous knowledge of algebraic topology is necessary.
