Content
Differential geometry investigates geometric properties of curved spaces using methods of differential calculus. It has applications in other areas of mathematics and in physics, such as theoretical mechanics and the theory of relativity.
This lecture provides an introduction to (semi-)Riemannian geometry. In particular, it will focus on geodesics and the Riemannian curvature tensor.
Previous knowledge
Required: Analysis~I–III, Lineare Algebra~I and II \ Prior exposure to curves and surfaces (“Kurven und Flächen”) and topology is beneficial.

Content
Eigenvalues of geometric differential operators play a central role in Riemannian geometry, linking analytic, geometric, and topological properties of manifolds. In this lecture we give an introduction to spectral theory on Riemannian manifolds, with particular emphasis on the Laplace–Beltrami operator. Some results from spectral theory and functional analysis will necessarily be taken as black boxes. We discuss fundamental results on eigenvalue estimates and their dependence on the Riemannian metric. Through classical examples and key inequalities (such as those due to Cheeger, Lichnerowicz, and Weyl), we illustrate how curvature, volume, and topology influence the spectrum.
Previous knowledge
Differential geometry I is required; knowledge of Riemannian metrics and integration on manifolds is desirable.

Content
Algebraic topology studies how topological spaces can be assigned algebraic objects, such as homology and cohomology groups. The homology and cohomology of a compact manifold have a special property that other spaces generally do not fulfil. The homology and cohomology of a compact manifold together satisfy what is known as Poincaré duality. This special structure has many interesting consequences; for example, there is now a product on the homology groups, the intersection product. In this seminar, we will first learn about the algebraic topology of manifolds and study Poincaré duality and the intersection product. The ideas behind the intersection product can then be transferred to the free loop space of a manifold. The homology of the free loop space thus also obtains a product, as well as other algebraic structures. The study of these additional algebraic structures on the loop space is called string topology. In this seminar, we will learn about some aspects and applications of string topology and finally see what string topology can tell us about the geometry and topology of the underlying manifold.
Previous knowledge
Algebraic topology, in particular basic knowledge of singular homology and cohomology. Other courses, such as Differential Geometry I, are helpful but not a prerequisite for participation in the seminar.

Content
The lecture gives an introduction to elementary geometry in Euclidian and non-Euclidian space and its mathematical foundations. We get to know Euclidean, hyperbolic, and projective geometry as examples of incidence geometries, and study their symmetry groups.
The next main topic is the axiomatic characterization of the Euclidean plane. The focus is on the story of the fifth Euclidian axiom (and the attempts to get rid of it).
