as I said earlier, I will be organizing a winter school in Budapest in the end of January, and thus I won't be able to keep 2 of the classes on Jan 23 and on the 24th.

In the remaining classes, I want to talk about 4 manifolds and Kirby calculus and give you a taste of Heegaard Floer homology.

Passcode: torus

Low dimensional topology is the study of (smooth) 3- and 4- dimensional manifolds (=spaces that can be modelled on the Euclidian 3- or 4-space). A classical way of studying 3-manifolds is by understanding embedded submanifolds: knots and surfaces.

Thus as a warm-up, we will spend some lectures on knots in the 3-space.

We will then briefly introduce notions and constructions from Differential Topology concentrating on Morse theory and its consequences. And use surfaces (2-dimensional manifolds) as basic examples.

We will then move on to the study of 3-manifolds by first giving some constructions, and then understanding the specifics of the Algebraic Topological invariants of 3-manifolds. Next, we will decompose 3-manifolds into simple pieces first along spheres and then tori. We then discuss Dehn surgery along knots, as a specific construction.

As a reformulation of Morse theory, we will give a compact description of 4-manifolds called Kirby diagrams, and discuss Kirby calculus.

If time permits we will briefly discuss recent methods to study 3- and 4-manifolds.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Oral exam after the end of the course.

If you would like to take an oral exam, then you should

-choose a topic that is about 3-4 lecture-worth of material,

-email me your topic choice and your wished dates for the exam,

-I will then approve your topic choice and suggest a concrete exam date and time,

-the exam can be held both in person or online, (I think in person is just a better experience for both of us, but I understand that online might work better for scheduling, so let's see).
