Course description and aims

In this lecture series we basic materials on sheaf theory, cohomology group with sheaf coefficients, and de Rham theorem, and so on. Cohomology group with sheaf coefficients are useful especially in the theory of complex manifolds. The course is followed by MTH.B506.

Student learning outcomes

・to know the concept of sheaf and be familiar with basic examples
・to be able to handle exact sequence of cohomology groups
・to understand the mechanism of the proof of de Rham theorem

Keywords

sheaf, presheaf, cohomology group, exact sequence, deRham theorem, intersection form, Poincare's theorem on intersection forms

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
