    Algebraic Topology
    This is the first in a series of three textbooks in algebraic topology having the goal of covering all the basics while remaining readable by newcomers seeing the subject for the first time. The first book contains the basic core material along with a number of optional topics of a relatively elementary nature. The other two books, which are largely independent of each other, are provisionally titled "Vector Bundles and K-Theory" and "Spectral Sequences in Algebraic Topology." These are only partially written see below. To find out more about the first book or to download it in electronic form, follow this link to the download page
    Vector Bundles and K-Theory
    The plan is for this to be a fairly short book focusing on topological K-theory and containing also the necessary background material on vector bundles and characteristic classes. For further information, and to download the part of the book that is written, go to

    55: Algebraic topology
    Introduction
    Algebraic topology is the study of algebraic objects attached to topological spaces; the algebraic invariants reflect some of the topological structure of the spaces. The use of these algebraic tools calls attention to some types of topological spaces which are well modeled by the algebra; fiber bundles and related spaces are included here, while complexes (CW-, simplicial-, ...) are treated in section 57. Finally, the use of the algebraic tools also calls attention to the aspects of a topological space which are well modeled by the algebra; this gives rise to homotopy theory. The algebraic tools used in topology include various (co)homology theories, homotopy groups, and groups of maps. These in turn have necessitated the development of more complex algebraic tools such as derived functors and spectral sequences; the machinery (mostly derived from homological algebra) is powerful if rather daunting. In all cases, the "naturality" of the construction implies that a map between spaces induces a map between the groups. Thus one can show that no maps of some sort can exist between two spaces (e.g. homeomorphisms) since no corresponding group homomorphisms can exists. That is, the groups and homomorphisms offer an algebraic "obstruction" to the existence of maps. Classic applications include the nonexistence of retractions of disks to their boundary and, as a consequence, the Brouwer Fixed-Point Theorem. (Obstruction theory is, more generally, the creation of algebraic invariants whose vanishing is necessary for the existence of certain topological maps. For example a function defined on a subspace Y of a space X defines an element of a homology group; that element is zero iff the function may be extended to all of X.)

    6. Algebraic Topology Book
    A complete, downloadable, introductory text on algebraic topology, by Prof. Allen Hatcher, Cornell Univ. 3rd Ed. 553 pp. with illustrations.
    http://www.math.cornell.edu/~hatcher/AT/ATpage.html
    Algebraic Topology To get an idea of what's in the book you can look at the Table of Contents and the Preface Printed Version The book was published by Cambridge University Press in 2002. There are two editions:
    • Paperback (ISBN 0-521-79540-0). This is now in a third printing, with corrections of some minor errors in the earlier printings see farther down this page for a list of corrections. The original price was $30 in the US, but it has now risen to $33. I'm told this is because of the weak dollar. [In April and May 2005 the US amazon.com site had a sale price of $21.77, but now it is back up to $33.] Hardback (ISBN 0-521-79160-X). This has not been reprinted, so it does not include the corrections that are in the reprintings of the paperback edition. The price of the hardback is nearly three times that of the paperback, so it is obviously intended principally for libraries.
    Electronic Version: By special arrangement with the publisher, an online version will continue to be available for download here. There are several different formats available. First of all, you can download the whole book as a single rather large pdf file (3.5MB) of about 550 pages. If you wish to save paper when you print it out, there is also a pdf

    Mark Hovey's Algebraic Topology Problem List
    This list of problems is designed as a resource for algebraic topologists. The problems are not guaranteed to be good in any wayI just sat down and wrote them all in a couple of days. Some of them are no doubt out of reach, and some are probably even worseuninteresting. I ask that anybody who gets anywhere on any of these problems, has some new problems to add, or has corrections to any of them, please keep me informed (mhovey@wesleyan.edu). If I mention a name in a problem, it might be good to consult that person before working too hard on the problem. However, even if the problems we work on are internal to algebraic topology, we must strive to express ourselves better. If we expect our papers to be accepted in mathematical journals with a wide audience, such as the Annals, JAMS, or the Inventiones, then we must make sure our introductions are readable by generic good mathematicians. I always think of the French, myselfI want Serre to be able to understand what my paper is about. Another idea is to think of your advisor's advisor, who was probably trained 40 or 50 years ago. Make sure your advisor's advisor can understand your introduction. Another point of view comes from Mike Hopkins, who told me that we must tell a story in the introduction. Don't jump right into the middle of it with "Let E be an E-infinity ring spectrum". That does not help our field.
    Here are the problems:

    10. What Is Algebraic Topology?
    Introductory essay by Joe Neisendorfer, University of Rochester.
    http://www.math.rochester.edu/people/faculty/jnei/algtop.html
    WHAT IS ALGEBRAIC TOPOLOGY? THE BEGINNINGS OF ALGEBRAIC TOPOLOGY Algebraic topology is a twentieth century field of mathematics that can trace its origins and connections back to the ancient beginnings of mathematics. For example, if you want to determine the number of possible regular solids, you use something called the Euler characteristic which was originally invented to study a problem in graph theory called the Seven Bridges of Konigsberg. Can you cross the seven bridges without retracing your steps? No and the Euler characteristic tells you so. Later, Gauss defined the so-called linking number, a precise invariant which tells you whether two circles are linked. It is called an invariant because it remains the same even if we continuously deform the geometric object. Gauss also found a relationship between the total curvature of a surface and the Euler characteristic. All of these ideas are bound together by the central idea that continuous geometric phenomena can be understood by the use of discrete invariants. The winding number of a curve illustrates two important principles of algebraic topology. First, it assigns to a geometric odject, the closed curve, a discrete invariant, the winding number which is an integer. Second, when we deform the geometric object, the winding number does not change, hence, it is called an invariant of deformation or, synomynously, an invariant of homotopy.

    The method of algebraic invariants
    The goal is to take topological spaces and further categorize or classify them. An older name for the subject was combinatorial topology , implying an emphasis on how a space X was constructed from simpler ones. The basic method now applied in algebraic topology is to investigate spaces via algebraic invariants, by mapping them, for example, to groups which have a great deal of manageable structure in a way that respects the relation of homeomorphism of spaces. Two major ways in which this can be done are through fundamental groups , or more generally homotopy theory , and through homology and cohomology groups. The fundamental groups give us basic information about the structure of a topological space, but they are often nonabelian and can be difficult to work with. The fundamental group of a (finite)
