The Second Morgan-Phoa Mathematics Workshop
Dates: Tuesday 25 and Wednesday 26 November 2008
Venues:
Tuesday
at Macquarie University;
Wednesday
at Sydney University.
Purpose:
It is clear that CoACT (Macquarie University) and
Amnon Neeman's group at the CMA (Australian National University) have many common research interests.
The plan for these Workshops is to investigate those connections, and to
advance the research areas, in an informal and flexible setting. Some of these
common interests include categorical homotopy theory, topos theory,
triangulated categories, K-theory, higher categories, homological algebra,
cohomology, and differential graded categories.
Participants
included: Michael Batanin, Tom
Booker, James Borger, John Bourke, Alain Brugui¸res, Dimitri Chikhladze, Boris
Chorny, Alexei Davydov, Lance Gurney, Shane Kelly, Stephen Lack, Martin Markl,
Micah McCurdy, Amnon Neeman, David Oury, Jˇr™me Scherer, Greg Stevenson, Ross
Street, Dominic Verity, Alexis Virelizier.
