[Topology.beta] Topology events

[Rot, T.O. (Thomas)]

Dear all,

Tomorrow Fabio will defend his thesis at 11:45:

A nice story here:

Next week Tuesday there is the applied topology day

There is therefore no CTAAAG. The CTAAAG will commence again on the 15th of april with an external speaker

AG: 15-04-2025 Miguel Barata <https://sites.google.com/view/miguelbarata/homepage?authuser=0> : The operadic viewpoint on Goodwillie-Weiss embedding calculus

The study of embedding spaces Emb(M,N) between smooth manifolds and its homotopy type is a central topic in modern differential topology and low-dimensional topology. In this talk I want to focus on one of the main homotopical tools for dealing with such problems, the Goodwillie-Weiss embedding tower: one associates to Emb(M,N) a sequence of spaces T_k Emb(M,N) whose limit should be a good approximation to the original embedding space. The upshot is that these approximations can be well understood via the formalism of operads, and therefore are more prone to homotopical methods, as I hope to explain in this talk.


I am still looking for more CTAAAG speakers in may. Please volunteer.

Best,
Thomas
