Gauge-Theoretic Invariants
[proposal description, please update]
More details to be discussed (and will probably depend on the background of incoming first years) but a syllabus outline would be:
• spin and spin-c structures
• introductory gauge theory
• Seiberg-Witten equations and invariants
• applications to knots and 4-manifold topology
We will base it around the first half of “Spin Geometry and Seiberg-Witten Invariants” by Salamon, but will be more judicious in our choice of topics.
