Symmetry Colloquia – Global Categorical Symmetries

CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

Symmetry Colloquia - Global Categorical Symmetries May 2, 2024 Location: Room G-10, CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA 02138 Speaker: Theo Johnson-Freyd, Dalhousie University and Perimeter Institute Title: The Universal Target Category Abstract: Hilbert's Nullstellensatz says that the complex numbers C satisfy a universal property among all R-algebras: every not-too-large nonzero commutative R-algebra maps to C. Deligne proved a similar statement […]
