 (Infinity, n)-CategoriesSemesterSoSe 2018LecturerJustin Noel / Georgios RaptisType of course (Veranstaltungsart)SeminarContentsThe purpose of this seminar is to study the general theory of higher categories and its applications. Higher category theory, especially the theory of (\infty,n)-categories, provides a powerful language for handling the complexity of encoding relations, relations between relations, and "so on". This language has been applied to questions in homotopy theory, derived algebra, derived algebraic geometry, topological field theory, and computer science. In addition to conceptualizing classical results by placing them in a more general context, they have proven essential for studying homotopy theories themselves. Although this seminar nominally is a continuation of the previous series, this semester we will be focusing on (\infty,n)-categories for n > 1 and it is NOT REQUIRED that you have attended the seminar before. We will consider some models and applications of the theory. Recommended previous knowledgeEssential: Simplicial homotopy theory. Desirable: Familiarity with $$\infty, 1$$-categories.Time/DateTuesday 16:00-18:00LocationM311Course homepagehttp://www.nullplug.org/infty-seminar-su-2018.html(Disclaimer: Dieser Link wurde automatisch erzeugt und ist evtl. extern)RegistrationRegistration for course work/examination/ECTS: FlexNowCourse work (Studienleistungen)Presentation: Giving a seminar talk of roughly 90 minutesExamination (Prüfungsleistungen)Detailed written report of the seminar talkRegelungen bei Studienbeginn vor WS 2015 / 16Benotet:O. g.
