Topology Seminar: The moduli spaces of generalized Morse functions

  • Date: 10/14/2009
Lecturer(s):
Boris Botvinnik (University of Oregon)
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

The moduli spaces of generalized Morse functions

Description: 

We study and determine a homotopy type of the moduli space of all generalized Morse functions on d-manifolds for given d. This moduli space is closely connected to the moduli space of all Morse functions studied by Madsen and Weiss and classifying space of the corresponding cobordism category

Schedule: 

3:00 - 4:00pm, WMAX 110.

Refreshments will be available at the PIMS tea (2:45-3:30pm) prior to the talk
