Topology and Geometry Seminar

Speaker: Francis Bischoff, University of Regina

Title: Principal bundles and vector bundles

Abstract:  

In this talk, I will introduce the notion of principal bundles, reductions of structure group, and their relationship to vector bundles with additional geometric structures. I will then discuss the classification of vector bundles (and principal bundles more generally) in terms of homotopy classes of maps into a classifying space.
