Atiyah-Singer Index Seminar

Tue., Jan. 19, 2016 10:00 a.m.

Location: RIC 215

Speaker: Asghar Ghorbanpour
Title: Vector Bundles, II
Abstract:

This is a quick introduction to the theory of vector bundles
on topological spaces. We will go over some constructions like
vector bundles defined by clutching functions and hence classify
all vector bundles on spheres. We will also discuss how a proper
notion of vector bundles for algebras and C*-algebras can
be developed.

Please note that the approach to the topic in this series of lectures
can be considered as a complementary approach to the one taken in
the "characteristic classes seminar" and, therefore, the participants
of that seminar can also benefit from these sessions.
