Lecture Series - Aaron Mazel-Gee
Title: Seminar $\infty$Speaker: Aaron Mazel-Gee (The Ohio State University)Abstract: A seminar on higher category theory and its applications.Core topic: fundamentals of $\infty$-category theory (and its relation with other methods of abstract homotopy theory, especially model categories) Statement of purpose: There's a serious disconnect between how $\infty$-categories are usually presented and how they're actually used (and actually useful). My central aim is to provide a working familiarity with both aspects of the theory. Prerequisites: Basic category theory (categories, functors, natural transformations, adjunctions) and basic homotopy theory (homotopy and co/homology groups, co/fiber sequences, weak homotopy equivalences). A bit of homological algebra could be helpful for motivation, but shouldn't really be necessary.Further details can be found on the seminar webpage.Note: This is a recurring seminar for the entire Autumn 2016 semester on Tuesdays 1:00 - 2:00 in Mathematics Building 105 starting September 6, 2016.

Title: Seminar $\infty$
Speaker: Aaron Mazel-Gee (The Ohio State University)
Abstract: A seminar on higher category theory and its applications.
- Core topic: fundamentals of $\infty$-category theory (and its relation with other methods of abstract homotopy theory, especially model categories)
- Statement of purpose: There's a serious disconnect between how $\infty$-categories are usually presented and how they're actually used (and actually useful). My central aim is to provide a working familiarity with both aspects of the theory.
- Prerequisites: Basic category theory (categories, functors, natural transformations, adjunctions) and basic homotopy theory (homotopy and co/homology groups, co/fiber sequences, weak homotopy equivalences). A bit of homological algebra could be helpful for motivation, but shouldn't really be necessary.
Further details can be found on the seminar webpage.
Note: This is a recurring seminar for the entire Autumn 2016 semester on Tuesdays 1:00 - 2:00 in Mathematics Building 105 starting September 6, 2016.
