Dustin Leininger, NC State, Crash Course on Spectral Sequences
SAS 4201Spectral sequences are an algebraic tool for computing (co)homology of differential graded algebras (DGAs) developed by by Leray in the 1940's and have since found applications in various fields which utilize DGAs to compute useful invariants (e.g. Algebraic Topology, Knot Theory, ect.). This talk will provide a broad overview and attempt to answer some basic…
