The Third Morgan-Phoa Mathematics Workshop

 

Dates:       Thursday 28 and Friday 29 January 2010

 

Venue:      Australian National University, Canberra;

Room G35 of the John Dedman Building.

 

Purpose:   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: Gabriella Bšhm, James Borger, John Bourke, Dimitri Chikhladze, Jeff Egger, Richard Garner, Lars Hesselholt, Mike Johnson, Stephen Lack, Micah McCurdy, Amnon Neeman, David Oury, Emily Riehl, Greg Stevenson, Ross Street, Dominic Verity.
