Topology Date:  Wednesday, March 13, 2013 Location:  1372 East Hall (3:00 PM to 4:00 PM) Title:  Ziwet Lecture II: Equivariant Homotopy Theory and the Solution to the Kervaire Invariant Problem Abstract:   Our solution to the Kervaire invariant problem made essential use of group actions in algebraic topology. In this talk I will describe some of the basic ideas in equivariant homotopy theory and how they are used to study the Kervaire invariant problem.
