Categories and Topology (CatTop)
Course content
Topics in algebraic topology centered around the use of categories in homotopy theory and simplicial methods. Topics include simplicial sets, nerves of categories, classifying spaces, homotopy (co)limits, localization and completion.
MSc Programme in Mathematics
- Knowledge: To display knowledge of the course topics and content, at the level of a beginning researcher.
- Skills: To be able to use the acquired knowledge to perform computations.
- Competencies: To be able to produce independent proofs in
extension of
the acquired knowledge.
4 hours lectures and 3 hours exercises per week for 9 weeks.
In previous years lecture notes were used. It will be aimed to make these notes available from Absalon and/or the lecturers homepage.
AlgTopI and HomAlg or similar. Knowledge of AlgTop1.5 and
AlgTopII will be advantageous. (This corresponds roughly to Chapter
1-5 in Hatcher's book Algebraic Topology.)
Academic qualifications equivalent to a BSc degree is
recommended.
