Math 1300Y Students: Make sure to write ``1300Y'' in the course field on the exam notebook. Solve 2 of the 3 problems in part A and 4 of the 6 problems in part B. Each problem is worth 17 points, to a maximal total grade of 102. If you solve more than the required 2 in 3 and 4 in 6, indicate very clearly which problems you want graded; otherwise random ones will be left out at grading and they may be your best ones! You have 3 hours. No outside material other than stationary is allowed.
Math 427S Students: Make sure to write ``427S'' in the course field on the exam notebook. Solve 5 of the 6 problems in part B, do not solve anything in part A. Each problem is worth 20 points. If you solve more than the required 5 in 6, indicate very clearly which problems you want graded; otherwise random ones will be left out at grading and they may be your best ones! You have 3 hours. No outside material other than stationary is allowed.
Problem 1. Let be a topological space.
Problem 2. Let be a compact metric space and let be an open cover of . Show that there exists such that for every there exists such that the -ball centred at is contained in . ( is called a Lebesgue number for the covering.)
Problem 3.
Problem 4. Let be a covering of a connected locally connected and semi-locally simply connected base with basepoint . Prove that if is normal in then the group of automorphisms of acts transitively on .
Problem 5. A topological space is obtained from a topological space by gluing to an -dimensional cell using a continuous gluing map , where . Show that
Problem 6. Let denote the (standard) 2-dimensional torus.
Problem 7. For , what is the degree of the antipodal map on ? Give an example of a continuous map of degree 2 (your exmple should work for every ). Explain your answers.
Problem 8.
Problem 9. Suppose
