Coloring Spaces

Pitt Topology Seminar

Friday January 28 at 11am EST  

Zoom Meeting: https://pitt.zoom.us/j/95465740077

Abstract: 

The chromatic number of a graph is the minimal number of colors required to color the vertices  so adjacent vertices have distinct colors. We will see that there is a natural way to define the chromatic number of a space, and will connect it to the (covering) dimension.
