What I am going to be doing for now
I had a brief talk with my supervisor yesterday to see what I’ll be up to. It looks like the short-term goal will be to understand
G. Segal, Configuration spaces and iterated loop spaces, Invent. Math. 21 (1973), 213-221 (link)
but putting in the hours with Hatcher’s Algebraic Topology will carry on as usual. Last night I discovered Whitehead products on homotopy groups, and it was nice to know I haven’t forgotten everything. In fact, it looks like I’m meant to give a short talk on either Obstruction Theory or the Cohomology of Fibre Bundles. No doubt it will appear here if I do.
