Topology Seminar

An introduction to equivariant homotopy theory

If G is a topological group, we can make sense of a (continuous) action of G on a space. If X and Y are two spaces equipped with G-actions, an equivariant map f:X-->Y is a map that is compatible with the G-actions on X and Y. We shall explore what it should mean for this to be an equivariant (weak) homotopy equivalence, and we will look at equivariant cohomology theories.

Fair Trade or Trading Bad?

 

About The Talk: "Networks and north–south partnerships have become prerequisites for much research funding in policy-relevant fields. The objectives vary but usually include levelling the scholarly playing field, improving research quality, building southern capacity and relaying southern perspectives to northern policymakers. Reflecting on a decade’s work in Southern Africa, this paper suggests such initiatives often fall short of their objectives."
