Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prereq: 18.906/math 231b, spectral sequences
The goal of this seminar/course will be to describe certain topics in homotopy theory that extend the topics discussed, for instance, in the Kan seminar (18.919) and the spectral sequences seminar (which met earlier this fall). All updates (time, location, syllabus, etc) will be at http://www.mit.edu/~sanathd/chromotopy.html --- see there for more information!
Topics to be covered will include: (basic computations with) the Adams(-Novikov) spectral sequence, formal group laws and Quillen's theorem, the Ravenel conjectures, Morava K- and E-theories, and (if there's time) the construction of TMF.
All updates (time, location, syllabus, etc) will be at http://www.mit.edu/~sanathd/chromotopy.html --- see there for more information!
