Topics in Algebraic Topology (TopTopics)

Course content

We will cover various topics in contemporary algebraic topology, such as stable homotopy theory, unstable homotopy theory, equivariant methods, or geometric questions, with the precise content depending on the interests of the participants.

Education

MSc Programme in Mathematics

Learning outcome

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.
