S2D3 – Hauptseminar Differentialtopologie // S4D2 – Graduate Seminar on Topology
Morse-Theorie // Morse Theory
Sommersemester 2018
Coordinates
The seminar takes place on Tuesdays from 12:15 to 14:00 in seminar room 1.008 (Endenicher Allee 60).
Program
The programme for the seminar is here: [English / German]. The main reference for the seminar is the book "Lectures on the h-cobordism theorem" by John Milnor. See the programme for more references and abstracts of the talks.
Prerequisites
- The course Topology I, Wintersemester 17/18.
- We will also use a bit of the course Topology II, Sommersemester 2018 (but not much, just cohomology and Poincaré duality).
- Some basic concepts from differential topology. The course Global Analysis I, Wintersemester 17/18 would for example be useful to have attended, but it is certainly not a critical prerequisite.
Office hours
- Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10–11am, Thursdays 9–10am, room 4.019.
- Note: please email or speak to me in advance to arrange a meeting during the office hours.
