Jul 26, 2007 During the 2007-2008 academic year there will be a program on Homotopy Theory and Higher Categories in Barcelona.
Feb 5, 2009 Notes from a talk by Ieke Moerdijk on dendroidal sets, with a few remarks on presheaves on the category of posets. 101 things to do with a 2-classifier Jan 17, 2008 What to do with a ...
May 24, 2017 Summarizes a new paper “A type theory for synthetic $\infty$-categories” by Emily Riehl and Mike Shulman. Jul 29, 2013 Let’s take a look at the E 8 lattice and the Lie algebra by the same ...
Back to modal HoTT. If what was considered last time were all, one would wonder what the fuss was about. Now, there’s much that needs to be said about type dependency, types as propositions, sets, ...
I don’t really think mathematics is boring. I hope you don’t either. But I can’t count the number of times I’ve launched into reading a math paper, dewy-eyed and eager to learn, only to have my ...
Freeman Dyson is a famous physicist who has also dabbled in number theory quite productively. If some random dude said the Riemann Hypothesis was connected to quasicrystals, I’d probably dismiss him ...
In Part 1, I explained my hopes that classical statistical mechanics reduces to thermodynamics in the limit where Boltzmann’s constant k k approaches zero. In Part 2, I explained exactly what I mean ...
We start by introducing Petri nets and elementary Petri nets, which will be the focus of this post. In general, the weight of each condition can be an integer. In the case of elementary Petri nets, ...
You can classify representations of simple Lie groups using Dynkin diagrams, but you can also classify representations of ‘classical’ Lie groups using Young diagrams. Hermann Weyl wrote a whole book ...
The discussion on Tom’s recent post about ETCS, and the subsequent followup blog post of Francois, have convinced me that it’s time to write a new introductory blog post about type theory. So if ...
I have three questions. I have some guesses about the answers, so don’t think I’m completely clueless. But I’m clueless enough that I’d prefer to just give the questions, not my guesses.
