I don't have the final version on hand at the moment... Kevin Purbhoo's Qual Syllabus (First Attempt) -- Minor (C*-algebras) spectrum spectral radius gelfand transform gelfand theory for comm. C*-algebras analytic functional calculus continuous functional calculus for normal operators extended functional calculus the spectral theorem (various forms) unitalization approximate units positive elements polar decomposition states representations GNS construction Major (Algebraic topology) Homotopy theory: homotopy equivalence fundamental group covering spaces higher homotopy groups relative homotopy groups long exact sequence of a pair CW-complexes cellular approximation locally trivial bundles principal bundles classifying space weak homotopy equivalence Whitehead theorem Homology/Cohomology singular cellular relative homology groups long exact sequence mayer-vietoris sequence universal coefficient formula Kunneth formula Hurewicz theorem Cup and Cap products Morse theory Morse-Smale-Witten complex Poincare duality Thom's Jet Transversality theorem (vague notions only) intersection theory Characteristic classes obstruction theory Chern classes, Stieffel-Whitney classes, Pontryagin classes Major (Symplectic Geometry) symplectic linear algebra symplectic manifolds Darboux theorem almost complex structures Kahler manifolds Hamiltonian vector fields Poisson bracket symplectic and Hamiltonian actions moment maps obstuctions for moment maps coadjoint orbits symplectic reduction cotangent bundles cotangent lifts more (maybe also some differential geometry)
