Differential Geometry 2:
Riemannian Geometry

Meetings

Class meets remotely at 11:30am on MWF in Zoom Meeting Room 93961663776. If you are enrolled in the class you will get an e-mail with the password before the first class. If you are not officially enrolled but want to attend, please e-mail me to get the password.

This class is officially listed as a "hybrid" class, which means that there is a classroom (ECON 13) reserved for our meetings. We will not meet in this classroom, but you may wish to use the room if you need a place to watch our lectures online. If you do use this room, please follow all of the required safety measures.

Office hours will also be held remotely in the same Zoom Meeting Room 93961663776, either by appointment or according to the schedule below.

For at least the first few weeks of the semester, weekly attendance of office hours will be required.

Textbook

The textbooks will be Introduction to Riemannian Manifolds, by John M. Lee, and Differential Geometry: Connections, Curvature, and Characteristic Classes, by Loring W. Tu. We will also refer back to Lee's Introduction to Smooth Manifolds and. We will use Foundations of Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups by Frank W. Warner for our discussion of sheaves and the de Rham theorem. All are available by the University of Colorado's subscription to SpringerLink. To access the books, make sure you are on the University of Colorado network, either by being physically on campus, logging in through the library, or using some other form of VPN.
