Lectures on Differential Topology
Riccardo Benedetti
Summary :
The text is designed for motivated, collaborative master's level undergraduate mathematics students (specifically based on courses taught at the University of Pisa) who may still have a limited advanced background.
Core Approach & Topics
It covers a collection of advanced, historically important themes in differential topology using a "bare hands" approach. Instead of relying on overly heavy machinery, it develops topics from scratch by combining:
- Cut-and-paste geometric procedures.
- Applications of transversality.
- The multiplicative structure of cobordism rings for smooth compact manifolds.
