Workshop on Categorical Methods in Algebra, Geometry and Mathematical Physics
Satellite to the StreetFest conference in honour of Ross Street's sixtieth birthday
July 18-21 2005, Australian National University, Canberra
A workshop entitled Categorical Methods in Algebra, Geometry and Mathematical Physics will take place at the Australian National University ANU in Canberra from 18 to 21 July as a satellite event to the StreetFest, and to the workshop on Noncommutative Geometry and Index Theory at ANU.
The workshop will be more application oriented and will cover four basic topics:
- Categories in algebra and algebraic geometry, derived categories.
- Categories in topology, homotopy theory and geometry.
- Categories in mathematical physics.
- Higher dimensional categories including A_\infty-categories, quasicategories, Segal categories.
