401-3532-08L | Differential Geometry II | W | 10 credits | 4V + 1U | W. Merry | |
Abstract | This is a continuation course of Differential Geometry I. Topics covered include: - Connections and curvature, - Riemannian geometry, - Gauge theory and Chern-Weil theory. | |||||
Objective | ||||||
Lecture notes | I will produce full lecture notes, available on my website: Link | |||||
Literature | There are many excellent textbooks on differential geometry. A friendly and readable book that contains everything covered in Differential Geometry I is: John M. Lee "Introduction to Smooth Manifolds" 2nd ed. (2012) Springer-Verlag. For Differential Geometry II, the textbooks: - S. Kobayashi, K. Nomizu "Foundations of Differential Geometry" Volume I (1963) Wiley, - I. Chavel, "Riemannian Geometry: A Modern Introduction" 2nd ed. (2006), CUP, are both excellent. The monograph - A. L. Besse "Einstein Manifolds", (1987), Springer, gives a comprehensive overview of the entire field, although it is extremely advanced. (By the end of the course you should be able to read this book.) | |||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Familiarity with all the material from Differential Geometry I will be assumed (smooth manifolds, Lie groups, vector bundles, differential forms, integration on manifolds, principal bundles and so on). Lecture notes for Differential Geometry I can be found on my website. | |||||
401-3462-00L | Functional Analysis II | W | 10 credits | 4V + 1U | A. Carlotto | |
Abstract | Sobolev spaces, weak solutions of elliptic boundary value problems, basic results in elliptic regularity theory (including Schauder estimates), maximum principles. | |||||
Objective | Acquire fluency with Sobolev spaces and weak derivatives on the one hand, and basic elliptic regularity on the other. Apply these methods for studying elliptic boundary value problems. | |||||

401-3002-12L | Algebraic Topology II | W | 8 credits | 4G | P. Biran | |
Abstract | This is a continuation course to Algebraic Topology I. The course will cover more advanced topics in algebraic topology including: cohomology of spaces, operations in homology and cohomology, duality. | |||||
Objective | ||||||
Literature | 1) G. Bredon, "Topology and geometry", Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 139. Springer-Verlag, 1997. 2) A. Hatcher, "Algebraic topology", Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2002. The book can be downloaded for free at: Link 3) E. Spanier, "Algebraic topology", Springer-Verlag | |||||
Prerequisites / Notice | General topology, linear algebra, singular homology of topological spaces (e.g. as taught in "Algebraic topology I"). Some knowledge of differential geometry and differential topology is useful but not absolutely necessary. | |||||
401-8142-21L | Algebraic Geometry II (University of Zurich) No enrolment to this course at ETH Zurich. Book the corresponding module directly at UZH. UZH Module Code: MAT517 Mind the enrolment deadlines at UZH: Link | W | 9 credits | 4V + 1U | University lecturers | |
Abstract | We continue the development of scheme theory. Among the topics that will be discussed are: properties of schemes and their morphisms (flatness, smoothness), coherent modules, cohomology, etc. | |||||
