  • Date: 11/22/2006
Lecturer(s):

James Clarkson (University of British Columbia)

Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

In this talk we give a geometric proof of the Blakers-Massey Theorem
using Mather's Cube Theorems. As an application, we use this result to
compute the James Splitting of Omega S^n.
