A Combinatorial definition of the Becker-Gottlieb transfer

Abstract: The talk will give a combinatorial construction of the Becker-Gottlieb transfer map. It will also describe how thiscombinatorial definition can be used to define higher Reidemeister torsion. This talk is part of a joint project with B.Badzioch, J.Klein and B.Williams.


We meet weekly on Thursday afternoons, with the third meeting of each month in Altoona. If you are interested in giving a talk in our seminar please contact one of the coordinators for the Fall 2007 semester: Young Choi and Aissa Wade.
