Notes on the Atiyah-Singer Index Theoremby Liviu I. Nicolaescu - University of Notre Dame
This is arguably one of the deepest and most beautiful results in modern geometry, and it is surely a must know for any geometer / topologist. It has to do with elliptic partial differential operators on a compact manifold.
