How did you find PF?
Hi, while looking up ideas for my undergraduate thesis specifically on topology and influence of manifold theory to some extent, I landed in PF. I went through two conversations very specific to my search and decided to post up one myself in hopes of receiving suggestions on the same.
I am a final year Mathematics and Computing undergraduate. I am expected to submit an extensive B.Sc. thesis in four months. I have previously studied multivariable calculus, differential forms, chains, and a little bit of Theory of manifolds (Calculus on Manifolds, Michael Spivak). I am comfortable with concepts in point set topology and have a limited knowledge in Algebraic Topology (Topology by James Munkres) (having finished courses on abstract algebraic structures beforehand), and plan to expand it within the next 3-4 weeks. I am in search of a topic suitable for an interesting undergraduate dissertation culminating the above mentioned subjects. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and write me some input. I am two-minutes into this website new here and hope to find insightful conversations and participate in the same.

Hello and :welcome:!

Have you posted this question in one of the technical forums, yet? I suggest https://www.physicsforums.com/forums/topology-and-analysis.228/
or
https://www.physicsforums.com/forums/stem-academic-advising.139/
but it's more of a mathematical question than an advisory one.

This forum is only meant to say hello. I would like to answer and have some questions ahead of it, like what kind of manifolds, how much differential geometry may be involved, and things like that.
gee thanks! sorry I didn't know where to post. By differential geometry I meant I followed the exact pattern in which the book calculus on manifolds presents the topics: fields and forms, chains, integration on chains, The Stokes' theorem, manifolds.. Thanks! :)
 
Hello everyone, I was advised to join this community while seeking guidance on how to navigate the academic world as an independent researcher. My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
