Theorems in homotopy theory

Freudenthal suspension theorem

In mathematics, and specifically in the field of homotopy theory, the Freudenthal suspension theorem is the fundamental result leading to the concept of stabilization of homotopy groups and ultimately to stable homotopy theory. It explains the behavior of simultaneously taking suspensions and increasing the index of the homotopy groups of the space in question. It was proved in 1937 by Hans Freudenthal. The theorem is a corollary of the homotopy excision theorem. (Wikipedia).

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 1: Introduction and Motivation

We describe some features that the category of spectra is expected to have, and some ideas from topology it's expected to generalize. Along the way, we review the Freudenthal suspension theorem, and the definition of a generalized cohomology theory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~======================

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 18: The Steenrod Algebra (Liam Keenan)

Liam defines the Steenrod algebra, as the endomorphisms of the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum HF_p. This naturally acts on the mod p cohomology of any space (or spectrum), and we look at the example of the mod 2 cohomology of RP^infinity. He states some of its fundamental properties allowing u
