Good cover (algebraic topology)

In mathematics, an open cover of a topological space is a family of open subsets such that is the union of all of the open sets. A good cover is an open cover in which all sets and all non-empty intersections of finitely-many sets are contractible. The concept was introduced by André Weil in 1952 for differentiable manifolds, demanding the to be differentiably contractible.A modern version of this definition appears in . (Wikipedia).

Coverings of the Circle

A covering of a topological space X is a topological space Y together with a continuous surjective map from X to Y that is locally bi-continuos. The infinite spiral is for example a covering of the circle. Notice how every path on the circle can be lifted to the spiral. If a coveri

Algebraic topology: Introduction

This lecture is part of an online course on algebraic topology. This is an introductory lecture, where we give a quick overview of some of the invariants of algebraic topology (homotopy groups, homology groups, K theory, and cobordism). The book "algebraic topology" by Allen Hatcher men

Covering spaces | Algebraic Topology | NJ Wildberger

We introduce covering spaces of a space B, an idea that is naturally linked to the notion of fundamental group. The lecture starts by associating to a map between spaces, a homomorphism of fundamental groups. Then we look at the basic example of a covering space: the line covering a circle

Covering spaces and 2-oriented graphs | Algebraic Topology | NJ Wildberger

We illustrate the idea of a covering space by looking at the rich examples coming from a wedge of two circles. Coverings of this space are graphs with each vertex of degree four, with edges suitably labelled in a directed way with alpha's and beta's. We also introduce the idea of a unive

AlgTop1: One-dimensional objects

This is the first lecture of this beginner's course in Algebraic Topology (after the Introduction). In it we introduce the two basic one-dimensional objects: the line and circle. The latter has quite a few different manifestations: as a usual Euclidean circle, as the projective line of one

Weil conjectures 7: What is an etale morphism?

This talk explains what etale morphisms are in algebraic geometry. We first review etale morphisms in the usual topology of complex manifolds, where they are just local homeomorphism, and explain why this does not work in algebraic geometry. We give a provisional definition of etale morphi

Lecture 7: Sheaves of sets (Part 2)

The most important examples of topoi are categories of sheaves of sets on a small category. Patrick Eilliott introduced this class of examples over two talks, of which is the second. In this talk he defines Grothendieck topologies and the category of sheaves on a site, and develops the exa

We will introduce the notion of perfectoid spaces. The theory can be seen as a kind of rigid geometry of infinite type, and the most important feature is that the theories over (deeply ramified extensions of) Q_p and over F_p((t)) are equivalent, generalizing to the relative situation a th
