Course description and aims
Topological K-theory is one of the generalized cohomology theories, and roughly classifies vector bundles over topological spaces. In this lecture, the basic properties of topological K-theory including the Bott periodicity and the Thom isomorphism theorem will be explained. An application will also be provided at the end of the lecture.
Student learning outcomes
to understand basic properties of topological K-theory.
to understand an application of topological K-theory.
Keywords
