Topology, Algebraic Geometry, and Dynamics Seminar (TADS): Frobenius algebras and symplectic categories

Speaker:  Walker Stern, UVA

Title:  Frobenius algebras and symplectic categories

Abstract:  In this talk, I will discuss ongoing work seeking to classify variants of Frobenius objects in categories of spans, as well as motivation coming from Topological Field Theories and symplectic geometry. This talk is in part based on joint work with Ivan Contreras and Rajan Mehta.

Time:  Friday, October 14, 2022, 1:30pm – 2:30pm
