Lecture 1. 2023.01.08

The Poincare conjecture h-cobordism theorem

We formulate and proof the famous h-cobordism theorem by Smale

and the Poincare conjecture in dimensions greater than or equal to 5



Lecture 2. 2023.01.13

Freedman's proof of the Poincare conjecture in dimension 4.

We introduce Casson's handles and prove the topological Poincare

conjecture in dimension 4.



Lecture 3. 2023.01.15

Intersection forms.

We discuss algebraic classification of Z-valued quadratic forms.

We shall consider simply connected 4-manifolds and formulate

some classification results based on the intersection pairings on

second homology groups.



Lecture 4. 2023.01.20

Theorems of Wall and Rokhlin

We prove classical theorems of Wall (about stable equivalence of manifolds)

and Rokhlin (about signatures and cobordidsms)


Lecture 5. 2023.01.27

Preliminary materials: spin structures, Clifford algebras

We introduce necessary algebraic background needed for formulation

of Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants


Lecture 6. 2023.01.29

Donaldson's theorem

We sketch the proof of Donaldson's theorem that if an intersection

form of a smooth manifold is positive-definite then it is diagonalisable.


Lecture 7. 2023.02.03

Seiberg-Witten invariants

We give a quick introduction into Seiberg-Witten invariants

and list results: short proof of Donaldson's theorem,

triviality of SW results for positive curvature,

exotic smooth structures


Lecture 8. 2023.02.05

Exotic R^{4}.

We discuss the approaches to constructing smooth structures on R^{4}

due to Freedman, Gompf, Taubes, including the celebrated Taubes'

theorem on continuously many different smooth structures
