Mini-course “Group cohomology and T-functor”

Time: 21/4 – 15/5/2014 (4 weeks)

For the first week: the lectures will be on Monday (21 Apr), Wednesday (23 Apr) and Friday (25 Apr) at 14:30-16:30.
(the schedule will be further updated soon).

 

Location: VIASM Lecture Hall (C2).

Lecturer: Prof. Jean Lannes, Université Paris Diderot

Abstract:

The main theme of the course will be the description of the interactions between:

- The theory of group cohomology ;

- The theory of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra.

I will state Quillen’s theorem describing mod p cohomology of finite groups up to nilpotents elements. I will prove this theorem after a long detour using the theory of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra developped in the 80′s to solve Sullivan’s conjecture. As a reward, we will obtain generalisations of Quillen’s theorem.
