SCHOOL
Registration will open next week. Registration fee will be about 260 euros, but it may depend on the type of accommodation chosen. It includes accommodation, the welcome dinner, lunches and coffee-breaks. Note that the number of spaces in the school is limited.
Limited funds for supporting summer school participants are available (mainly through the ERC Advanced Project DuaLL). This is intended primarily for students, but non-students can be considered in exceptional circumstances. Those who plan to request financial support should submit a copy of their CV and a letter of support from their PhD advisor or post-doc supervisor (if applicable) to tacl2022(a)mat.uc.pt <mailto:tacl2022@mat.uc.pt>, with 'Summer School support request' in the subject, by March 18, 2022.
Dear all,

Thu, and finishing on 17 Feb (Thu), as per below.

Title: A friendly introduction to ∞-categories
Lecturer: Yuki Maehara (Kyushu U)
Abstract: ∞-categories are to spaces what ordinary categories are to
sets. This nicely summarises the basic idea of ∞-categories, but there
is a large gap between this intuition and the definition(s) of
∞-category one finds in the literature. The aim of these lectures is
to fill this gap by answering the following question: What do we
really mean by "spaces", and what sort of things do we want to do with
them?
Lecture 1: Homotopy groups and Whitehead's theorem
Lecture 2: Kan complexes
Lecture 3: Model categories
Lecture 4: Homotopy commutative vs homotopy coherent
Lecture 5: Quasi-categories via spines
Lecture 6: Quasi-categories via inner horns
Schedule:
31 Jan (Mon) 4-5pm (AEDT/GMT+11)
3 Feb (Thu) 4-5pm (AEDT/GMT+11)
7 Feb (Mon) 4-5pm (AEDT/GMT+11)
10 Feb (Thu) 4-5pm (AEDT/GMT+11)
14 Feb (Mon) 4-5pm (AEDT/GMT+11)
17 Feb (Thu) 4-5pm (AEDT/GMT+11)
