Course description and aims

The main subject of this course is the homology and cohomology groups of CW complexes and manifolds. We introduce a CW complex, its properties, singular and cellular homology and cohomology groups of a CW complex. Next we explain the homology and cohomology groups of a manifold, their duality and products in cohomology groups. This course is a succession of “Advanced courses in Geometry C” in the third quarter.
 CW complexes and manifolds are important objects of topology and geometry. The general properties of the homology and cohomology groups of CW complexes and manifolds play an important role to calculate the homology and cohomology groups of a given manifold or a CW complex, and to understand its properties. This course aims to grasp the properties of homology and cohomology groups of CW complexes and manifolds.
