MSRI Semester in Algebraic Topology: Spring 2014

Vigleik Angeltveit, Andrew Blumberg, Gunnar Carlsson, Teena Gerhardt, Jacob Lurie, and I are running a semester long workshop in Algebraic Topology at MSRI, Spring 2014. This is the first semester long program in 25 years! We are very excited about the program and the included workshops.

There will be three scheduled workshops:

Virginia Conference on Algebraic Topology

This is a broad-based conference on functor calculus, operad thoery, higher categories, generalized homology theories, and all things homotopical!

2/12/12 - 2/17/12

Algebraic K-Theory and Equivariant Homotopy Theory

This workshop at beautiful BIRS brought together experts in equivariant homotopy and algebraic K-theory to talk about exciting developments in the field. Anna Marie Bohmann graciously took detailed notes for all of the talks. They can be found on her website.

Talbot Conference

I cofounded Talbot, and for years I ran it with C. Douglas, J. Francis, and A. Henriques. The primary goal is to introduce graduate students and early-career post-docs to cutting edge topics in modern mathematics.
