TETRAHEDRAL GEOMETRY/TOPOLOGY SEMINAR

 

  FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

 

 

DATE:               Friday, November 4, 2005             

 

LOCATION:     Hempfield High School, Room 213 (directions attached)                

                           followed by dinner at a place to be determined.

 

4:45 TALK:       Don Davis, Lehigh University

 

                           "Homotopy groups of compact Lie groups"

              

                           ABSTRACT: The p-primary v1-periodic homotopy groups of a topological space form a

                           first approximation to the actual homotopy groups.  We have determined the v1-periodic

                           homotopy groups of all the compact simple Lie groups.  This talk will survey the results and

                           methods.
