ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): (not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Language: English
Main fields of studies for MISMaP:

mathematics

Type of course:

elective seminars

Prerequisites (description):

Knowledge of obligatory subjects from 1st and 2nd year, including Linear algebra, Analysis I and II, Topology, Ordinary Differential Equations. A basic knowledge of Differential Geometry is an advantage but not necessary.


Mode:

Classroom

Short description:

The idea of the seminar is to introduce some basic concepts and results of modern differential geometry.

Full description:

Smooth manifolds carrying additional structure are basic objects in many branches of mathematics and physics, including Control Theory, Riemannian Geometry, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics, Field Theory, General Relativity. In the seminar we want to introduce/recall some basic differential geometric notions, including tangent and cotangent bundles, vector and tensor fields, fiber bundles, jets. Later, we would like to dig deeper into one or more specific topics according to the preferences of the students.

Some proposals of these specific topics are:

-foundations of Riemannian geometry, Levi-Civita connection, Riemannian curvature

-sub Riemannian geometry, normal and abnormal geodesics and the problem of smoothness of length minimizing curves

-Geometric Control Theory, emphasizing results about accessibility such as Frobenius, Chow’s-Rachewski and Sussmann theorems

-Theory of product-preserving functors and its relation with Weil algebras

-structure of jet bundles and geometry of partial differential equations

Learning outcomes:

The intended outcome is that a student will acquire a foundation in the differential geometry used across a variety of modern fields of contemporary research.

Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

Evaluation based on a given seminar talk and active participation in the classes.
