Differential Geometry II (Winter 15)
– Analysis and geometry on manifolds –
|
|
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
- Oral exams
will be offered on Friday 20 May and on Friday 3 June.
Contents
Differentiable manifolds, vector bundles, differential forms, Riemannian geometry.
Lecture Notes
Here is the revised 2015/6 version of Prof. Sullivan's
lecture notes.
Please email Prof. Sullivan with any suggestions for corrections or improvements to these lecture notes.
Note that the course Differential Geometry I (Curves and Surfaces) is
not strictly a prerequisite for this course. It gives useful geometric
insight on the lower dimensional cases but is logically independent:
the courses can be taken in either order. For reference, here are the
lecture notes from last semester's course.
