Oberseminar Topology, Winter term 18/19

This is the Webpage of the Oberseminar Topology at the University Muenster for the Winter term 18/19. The Oberseminar takes place monday 14:00 - 16:00 in room N3. We will invite guests and have local speakers give talks about their research.

One of the overall goals of the seminar is to get an idea of the research that several people in our group do and the general fields that are relevant. To give you an idea of what are topics and fields that are relevant for us we have created a list of things that we consider to be essential and that every participant should know or try to acquire. The list also includes more advanced topics that might be relevant to understand talks of guests.
