Algebraic Topology 2 - M2 - 8EC

Prerequisites

  • Point set topology and the fundamental group
  • CW-complexes and singular homology (to the extent treated in the Algebraic Topology 1 course taught in the fall)

Aim of the course
This course covers advanced topics in Algebraic Topology which vary from year to year and build on the foundations provided by the Algebraic Topology 1 course from the fall.
The topics covered in this edition of Algebraic Topology 2 are basics of cohomology groups, orientations of manifolds and Poincare-duality, fibrations and cofibrations, Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces, and Steenrod squares.
