Title: Gray-categories model algebraic tricategories
Speaker: Giovanni Ferrer (The Ohio State University)
Abstract: In this talk we will review some basic facts about model categories and 3-categories, describing the Quillen model structure on the category of 3-categories. We will then show that localizing this category at the weak equivalences is the same as taking equivalence classes of 3-functors.
We plan to hold this talk outdoors on the Oval at 2pm using dry erase boards. We will meet in the lobby of the Math Tower at 1:50 to walk over together.
