The aim of this reading course is to continue reading Markus Land’s “Introduction to Infinity Categories” and discuss some of the book’s exercises. There will also be dedicated time for presenting applications of the theory. We shall meet at least every second week, and at least five times. At the end of each meeting, we agree on the workload until the next meeting. Thus, the main workload lies in individual active reading and solving exercises.
Target group: Math PhD students with interests related to any of the following: homotopy theory, category theory, algebraic topology, or algebraic geometry.
Prerequisites: Some prior exposition to any of the following would be useful, though not strictly required: homotopy theory, category theory, algebraic topology, or algebraic geometry.
Evaluation: Participation
Teaching format: Mentored-self study. More precisely, we plan to meet every second week to discuss the chapters we set ourselves and some associated exercises.
