Student Algebra Seminar: Mangalath -- The Chern character

Vishnu Mangalath will give the Seminar’s tenth talk in Semester 2 tomorrow afternoon
on Zoom.  Please find the details below.  Anyone desiring to attend the talk or join the
mailing list is warmly invited to get in touch: ciappara@maths.usyd.edu.au.  

Title: The Chern character 

Abstract: In this lecture we will define the Chern character, which gives us a
convenient homomorphism from K-theory to ordinary singular cohomology.  As an
application, we will see that the tangent bundle of an even-dimensional sphere does not
admit a complex structure.  

Time and date: 3 pm Wednesday 11 November
