[phys4phys] Group for Gravitation, Particle and Fields seminar, Friday 13 January 2023

[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, 13 January 2023 at 
11:00 at the Faculty of Physics, lecture hall 665.


The talk entitled

Introduction to category theory and n-groups (part 3)

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

Abstract: In the third lecture, we will discuss three important examples 
of
categories and functors between them. These examples illustrate an
important relationship between category theory, Lie groups, and
differential geometry --- primarily in the context of the path
groupoid category, which will be defined and discussed in detail.
The material of this lecture is important as a preparation for the
remainder of the course, which will focus on higher categories and
generalizations of structures in differential geometry using higher
category theory.

The lectures are based on material from papers arXiv:q-alg/9705009
and arXiv:1003.4485.
