| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis we discuss the notion of formality, a topological property allowing calculations
of the rational homotopy groups from the cohomology algebra. We discuss the algebraic
theory, together with the connections between formality and geometric structures, showing
that symmetric spaces, Kähler manifolds and quaternionic Kähler manifolds are formal, and
presenting new results on formality in combination with Mayer-Vietoris in the context of
G2-manifolds. | |
