University of Chicago Category Theory Seminar

2008-2009

We will have category theory talks Thursdays 3:00-4:20 in Eckhart 203 in the Proseminar. A rough schedule is there.

2007-2008

There will occasionally be category theory talks in the Topology Proseminar Eckhart 203 T Th 1:30-3:00. Check the calendar to see if there is a topology talk or category talk, or both.

To request a future speaker or for questions, please contact Tom Fiore (fiore AT math.uchicago.edu).

Spring 2007 Talks

Fall 2006 Talks

Fall 2006 Plan

This quarter we will have a series of talks on topos theory, model categories, quasicategories, and higher topos theory. These current topics lie at the intersection of algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, logic, and higher category theory, and should be of interest to a wider audience.
