1 Prerequisites
The prerequisites for the seminar are a solid knowledge of the basics of differential and algebraic topology, meaning: manifolds, Poincaré duality, bundles, cobordism, transversality, generalized homology and cohomology, homotopy groups.
Participants should be familiar with the ideas covered in the first 7 chapters of the book [Ranicki2002]. However material from sections 2.2., 4.2, 5.4, 7.3 will be covered during the seminar. In addition participants should be familiar with the basics of spectra in stable homotopy theory. A good reference here is A. Hatcher, Algebraic topology, Cambridge University Press, 2002. MR1867354 (2002k:55001) Zbl 1044.55001.
The main references for the material covered in the seminar are [Ranicki1979], {{citeD|Ranicki1992}, [Kühl&Macko&Mole2011] and {{citeD|Wall1999}.
