Algebraic Topology via Differential Geometry / M. Karoubi, C. Leruste.

By: Karoubi, M [author.]Contributor(s): Leruste, C [author.]Material type: TextTextSeries: London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series ; no. 99Publisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1988Description: 1 online resource (376 pages) : digital, PDF file(s)Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9780511629372 (ebook)Subject(s): Algebraic topology | Geometry, DifferentialAdditional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: n/a LOC classification: QA612 | .K3613 1987Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: In this volume the authors seek to illustrate how methods of differential geometry find application in the study of the topology of differential manifolds. Prerequisites are few since the authors take pains to set out the theory of differential forms and the algebra required. The reader is introduced to De Rham cohomology, and explicit and detailed calculations are present as examples. Topics covered include Mayer-Vietoris exact sequences, relative cohomology, Pioncare duality and Lefschetz's theorem. This book will be suitable for graduate students taking courses in algebraic topology and in differential topology. Mathematicians studying relativity and mathematical physics will find this an invaluable introduction to the techniques of differential geometry.
