Dustin Leninger, An Introduction to Spectral Sequences
January 30, 2019 | 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST
I will describe a homological algebra construction which is fundamental in algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and related areas: the spectral sequence.
Originally developed by Jean Leray in the 1940s, a spectral sequence is a simultaneous higher-dimensional generalization of homology and long exact sequences. I will discuss a few examples of spectral sequences and their applications.
