Quantum Algebra & Quantum Topology Seminar - Peter Huston
Title: Introduction to Coherence in Monoidal Categories
Speaker: Peter Huston (OSU)
Abstract: Categorical versions of notions such as associativity of a product often involve additional assumptions needed to obtain "coherence" results. I will explain the idea of coherence, and motivate the need for coherence theorems. I will then give a detailed account of the proof of a coherence theorem in the case of monoidal categories, with a focus on how the techniques involved can be adapted to other types of categories.
