Seminars for the week of October 9, 2006
Colloquium
Thursday, 3:30, in VinH 16Professor Wojciech Chacholski
of KTH Stockholm
will speak on
"How to quantify complexity of fibrations of topological spaces"
In this talk, I will illustrate how to use modern homotopy theory to quantify complexity of fibrations of topological spaces. To quantify something means to compare it with something else which is presumed to be more fundamental. In our case we take amalgamated sums as such fundamental operations. I will illustrate in these terms the nilpotance theorem of Devinatz, Hopkins and Smith
