(03) Week 39, sep 24
  • start of exercise class: 16:00 - 17:00.
  • exercises: Lecture Notes 3.8*; 3.9; 4.2. (* means: to be handed in for grading).
  • (04) Week 40, oct 1
  • exercises: Lecture Notes 4.9, 4.20, 7.10*. The latter exercise was originally numbered 5.10. I discovered that the original version was too difficult to do without some extra material. This material will be discussed in class on October 8. The starred exercise will be moved to next week. Note that extra sections 5,6 have been added to the lecture notes.
  • (05) Week 41, oct 8
  • Exercise 7.10* (again, with lots of hints).
  • Exercises 7.7, 7.8.
  • (06) Week 42, oct 15
  • Exercises: 13.1*, 13.2.
  • (07) Week 43, oct 22
  • Exercises: 13.3, 13.4*, 13.9.
  • Hint for exercise 3,4: use the geodesic to obtain a limit point p in M. Then apply the Gauss lemma for polar coordinates at p to conclude that the geodesic must have a special form.




  • (08) Week 44, oct 29
  • Last exercise class by Erik van den Ban
  • Exercises: 13.5*, 13.7, 13.10.
  • In exercise 13.5 (c), read $d_a = \dim \ker (d\sigma(a) - I).$
