  • Matias L. del Hoyo (Universidade Federal Fluminense): On linear quasicategories

    4 February 2019, 12:00, Aula T2

    Visitant del CRM dins la convocatòria Lluís Santaló finançada per l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans

    Abstract: The classical Dold-Kan correspondence establishes an equivalence between chain complexes and simplicial vector spaces. A linear version of the Grothendieck correspondence allows us to regard pseudofunctors in the category of categorical vector spaces as certain linear groupoid fibrations. In this talk I will review these two correspondences, explain how they can be combined, and comment on an ongoing project with G. Trentinaglia, in which we generalize these results within the framework of differential geometry, using the language of linear quasicategories.

  • Joachim Kock (UAB): Infinity toposes

    18 February 2019, 12:00, IMUB

    Abstract: I will give an introduction to higher topos theory, by contrasting with 1-topos theory. The main themes will be classifiers and descent.

  • Wilson Forero (UAB): Giraud's Theorem I

    25 February 2019, 12:00, IMUB

    Abstract: The axioms of Giraud allow us to determine when a category is a topos. Lurie's version indicates the equivalence between the axioms, the left exact localizations, and Grothendieck topologies. In this talk I will give the necessary tools for the proof.

    4 March 2019, 12:00, Aula T2

    Abstract: Continuation of the previous talk.

  • Wilson Forero (UAB): Infinity Giraud's Theorem I

    18 March 2019, 12:00, IMUB

    Abstract: Lurie generalizes Giraud's axioms for ∞-categories and states the equivalence between them and the accessible left exact localizations. In this talk I will give a sketch of the proof.

    8 April 2019, 12:00, IMUB

    Abstract: Kripke-Joyal semantics enable us to do logic inside a topos. I will give the definition and talk about sheaf semantics as an example of this definition. I will also provide background on the necessary tools to build this semantic.
