401-3225-00L | Introduction to Lie Groups Self-service registration for this course unit in myStudies has been closed. | W | 8 credits | 4G | A. Iozzi | |
Abstract | Topological groups and Haar measure. Definition of Lie groups, examples of local fields and examples of discrete subgroups; basic properties; Lie subgroups. Lie algebras and relation with Lie groups: exponential map, adjoint representation. Semisimplicity, nilpotency, solvability, compactness: Killing form, Lie's and Engel's theorems. Definition of algebraic groups and relation with Lie groups. | |||||
Objective | The goal is to have a broad though foundational knowledge of the theory of Lie groups and their associated Lie algebras with an emphasis on the algebraic and topological aspects of it. | |||||
Literature | A. Knapp: "Lie groups beyond an Introduction" (Birkhaeuser) A. Sagle & R. Walde: "Introduction to Lie groups and Lie algebras" (Academic Press, '73) F. Warner: "Foundations of differentiable manifolds and Lie groups" (Springer) H. Samelson: "Notes on Lie algebras" (Springer, '90) S. Helgason: "Differential geometry, Lie groups and symmetric spaces" (Academic Press, '78) A. Knapp: "Lie groups, Lie algebras and cohomology" (Princeton University Press) | |||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Topology and basic notions of measure theory. A basic understanding of the concepts of manifold, tangent space and vector field is useful, but could also be achieved throughout the semester. Course webpage: Link | |||||
401-3001-61L | Algebraic Topology I | W | 8 credits | 4G | P. Biran | |
Abstract | This is an introductory course in algebraic topology, which is the study of algebraic invariants of topological spaces. Topics covered include: singular homology, cell complexes and cellular homology, the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms. | |||||
Objective | ||||||
Literature | 1) G. Bredon, "Topology and geometry", Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 139. Springer-Verlag, 1997. 2) A. Hatcher, "Algebraic topology", Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2002. Book can be downloaded for free at: Link See also: Link 3) E. Spanier, "Algebraic topology", Springer-Verlag | |||||
Prerequisites / Notice | You should know the basics of point-set topology. Useful to have (though not absolutely necessary) basic knowledge of the fundamental group and covering spaces (at the level covered in the course "topology"). Some knowledge of differential geometry and differential topology is useful but not strictly necessary. Some (elementary) group theory and algebra will also be needed. | |||||

Abstract | This course is an introduction to Algebraic Geometry (algebraic varieties). | |||||
Objective | Learning Algebraic Geometry. | |||||
