Sheaves and Sheaf Cohomology

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Andrew Hodge, UC Davis
Location: 593 Kerr
Start time: Thu, Jan 13 2005, 1:10PM

In this talk I will give the definition and examples of sheaves and show how to define a cohomology of sheaves. Also I will give an example relating this cohomology to the group of (complex) line bundles on a complex manifold. Time permitting, I will show how sheaf cohomology extends the usual notion of singular cohomology.
