Differential Geometry II (Winter 16)

– Analysis and geometry on manifolds –


Lecture Prof. Ulrich Pinkall Mon12-14MA 141
Tue10-12MA 141
Tutorial Felix Knöppel Wed12-14MA 841

This course is a BMS basic course and the lectures will be in English. Please feel free to ask any questions (and to turn in any work) in English or German.


News

  • There will be no lecture on 6 and 7 February. The homework can be turned in before the tutorial on 8 February.
  • Corrected sign error in 1. exercise of the 6. sheet.
  • Unfortunately, there are not enough participants to have two tutorials this semester. The tutorial on Thursday is thus cancelled.

Contents

Differentiable manifolds, vector bundles, differential forms, Riemannian geometry.

Homework

Homework should be turned in by groups of two students. To get a certificate for the tutorial and qualify to take the oral exam at the end of the semester, you need to satisfactorily complete 50% of the homework assignments.
