[institut] [phys4phys] Group for Gravitation, Particle and Fields seminar, Friday 23 December 2022

[Marija Dimitrijevic Ciric]

Dear colleagues,

You are cordially invited to the seminar of the Group for Gravitation, 
Particles and Fields, which will be held on Friday, 23 December 2022 at 
11:00 at the Faculty of Physics, lecture hall 665.


The talk entitled

Introduction to category theory and n-groups (part 2)

is the second in the series of seminars on n-groups and categories and 
will be given by Marko Vojinovic (Institute of Physics Belgrade).

Abstract: This is the second of a sequence of lectures about higher 
category theory and n-groups. We will introduce the notions of a 
category, a group, and a functor, after which we shall give a couple of 
examples convenient for physics. If time permits, we will also introduce 
the notions of a strict and weak 2-category, a 2-group, and a crossed 
module, also with appropriate examples.

The lecture is based on material from papers arXiv:q-alg/9705009, 
arXiv:1003.4485.
