Chern Classes

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Alex Papazoglou, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Tue, Mar 3 2009, 1:10PM

I will talk a little bit about characteristic classes in general from the point of view of homotopy theory and present Chern classes as a main example. Along the way I will say some things about categories, cohomology, representable functors, vector bundles, Grassmannians and maybe K-theory, time permitting.
