Oct. 10: Characteristic Classes
October 10:
Speaker: Nathan Li
Title: Characteristic Classes
Abstract: Characteristic classes are cohomological invariants of vector bundles. In this talk, I will give an overview of the Stiefel-Whitney classes and their applications, including showing the tangent bundle of an orientable 3-manifold is trivial.
