Quis
The participants to this seminar are members of the Centre for geometry and physics in Pohang. More than half of the members of the institute participate to the seminar. People from other institutions are welcome; feel free to send a message to the organiser if you are interested.
Quid
The derived seminar focuses on the homotopy tools encountered in modern mathematics such as model categories, ∞-categories or ᴅɢ-categories.
Ubi
The seminar takes place in the friendly atmosphere of ᴄɢᴘ Hall. Precise information about the location of ᴄɢᴘ Hall can be found at the ᴄɢᴘ website.
Quibus auxiliis
The course of the seminar shall be based on
- Configuration spaces in algebraic topology, Ben Knuden.
Furthermore, each talk shall be transcripted and notes will be made available on this site.
Cur
The ᴄɢᴘ institute is divided into different teams with divergent interests: algebraic geometry, number theory, lagrangian geometry etc. Nevertheless, many of the members tend to use the language of categories and its homotopical flavours. As such, it is in the common interest of the members of the institute to be more familiar with the notions and vocabulary that is often pervasive in the literature. Derived tools are also a great intersection point of the interests of the different teams and this seminar should be useful to stem research collaborations.
Quomodo
The main idea of this working seminar is to make the participants learn new tools by using them. Hence the talks will be given — two at each session — by the participants themselves. They shall work out the details of the new material that will be presented in the following weeks.
Quando
The participants meet every Monday, from 13:30 to 15:30; right before tea time takes place.
