MATH-323: Topology III - HomologyHomology is one of the most important tools to study topological spaces and it plays an important role in many fields of mathematics. The aim of this course is to introduce this notion, understand its
MATH-506: Topology IV.b - cohomology ringsSingular cohomology is defined by dualizing the singular chain complex for spaces. We will study its basic properties, see how it acquires a multiplicative structure and becomes a graded commutative a
MATH-497: Topology IV.b - homotopy theoryWe propose an introduction to homotopy theory for topological spaces. We define higher homotopy groups and relate them to homology groups. We introduce (co)fibration sequences, loop spaces, and suspen
MATH-488: Topology IV.a -Algebraic K-theoryAlgebraic K-theory, which to any ring R associates a sequence of groups, can be viewed as a theory of linear algebra over an arbitrary ring. We will study in detail the first two of these groups and a
MATH-561: Spectral theoryThis course is an introduction to the spectral theory of linear operators acting in Hilbert spaces. The main goal is the spectral decomposition of unbounded selfadjoint operators. We will also give el
MATH-667: Quivers and quantum algebrasWe will survey state of the art research on quantum algebras that arise from quivers. Our guiding examples will be quantum loop groups associated to symmetric Cartan matrices, but we will also seek to
MATH-495: Mathematical quantum mechanicsQuantum mechanics is one of the most successful physical theories. This course presents the mathematical formalism (functional analysis and spectral theory) that underlies quantum mechanics. It is sim
MATH-684: Spectral sequencesThe goal of the course is to learn how to construct and calculate with spectral sequences. We will cover the construction and introductory computations of some common and famous spectral sequences.
