DESCRIPTION:<span>Co-author: David Baraglia		(The University of Adelaide) 
        <br></span><span><br>T-duality is a discrete symmetry that was disc
 overed by physicists in the context of string theory\, but has now matured
  into a precise mathematical statement. In this talk I will give a brief o
 verview of topological T-duality and explain how it can be used to give a 
 new\, surprisingly simple proof of Hodgkin&rsquo\;s famous theorem on the 
 K-theory of compact simply connected Lie groups.</span>
