Stable Homotopy

Speaker: Enxin Wu (Western)

"Triangulated Categories II"

Time: 14:00

Room: MC 107

I will talk about a big class of examples for (pre)-triangulated categories -- the homotopy category of a pointed model category is a pre-triangulated category. I will start from the Reedy model structure and define framing on a (pointed) model category, roughly mention that Ho(mathcal{C}_*) is a closed Ho(sSet_*) module, and then define the loop and suspension functors, and also fiber and cofiber sequences.

"Analytic continuation: from analysis to geometry"

Time: 15:30

Room: MC 108

Extension of analytic functions of one variable led to the notion of Riemann surfaces and has applications to many branches of mathematics. After a brief recollection I will focus on the effect in several complex variables which made the multi-dimensional theory geometric from the beginning and led to the notion of Stein manifolds and envelopes of holomorphy. I will describe a new construction of envelopes of holomorphy of domains in terms of equivalence classes of analytic discs.The construction is purely geometric and does not refer to the set of analytic functions in the domain. Several corollaries will be discussed.
