Annotation -
Differential topology studies the relationship between analytic concepts (critical points of functions or functionals, solution spaces of systems of PDEs, zeroes of vector fields, diffeomorphism groups, etc) and topological concepts (Euler characteristics, CW structure, homotopy type, intersection forms, etc). We will focus on basic aspects of Sard's Theorem and Morse theory and their applications.

Syllabus -

Smooth manifolds and maps. Regular and critical values, Theorems by Sard and Brown. Manifolds with boundary. Classification of 1-dimensional manifolds with boundary. Brouwer's fixed-point theorem in smooth case. The degree modulo 2 of a map. Smooth homotopies and isotopies, the proof of the unique existence of the degree modulo 2 in the non-oriented case. Oriented manifolds. Brouwer's integer degree of a map. Applications: Problem of existence of smooth nonzero vector fields on the spheres. Index of a vector field at an isolated zero.
