NMAK18001U Analysis on Manifolds
MSc Programme in Mathematics
MSc Programme in Mathematics w. a minor subject
Basic properties of differential operators on manifolds,
Relations between ellipticity and Fredholm properties.
Riemannian geometry, Levi - Civita connection and Laplace operator.
Hodge theorem.
Dirac operators and properties of heat kernels
Knowledge:
The student will obtain detailed understanding of the properties of
elliptic differential operators on manifolds and their applications
to topology and geometry.
Skills:
At the end of the course the student will be able to prove basic
properties of elliptic differential operators and demonstrate the
ability to use them in applications.
Competences:
The student will be able to use analysis of differenial operators
on manifolds to study their topological and geometric
properties.
