Courses

Abstract analysis on groups

MATH-416

We study analytic phenomena on groups, notably paradoxical decompositions such as Banach-Tarski, fixed point properties and harmonic functions.

Topology II - fundamental groups

MATH-225

We study the topological notions of union and quotients of spaces; we discuss covering spaces and fundamental groups further, The notion of cell attachement is introduced and the Seifert-van Kampen Theorem is proven. Examples of surfaces illustrate the techniques.
