[Topology.beta] Tuesday CTAAAG: Miguel Barata

[Rot, T.O. (Thomas)]

Dear all,

Happy to announce that we have Miguel Barata speaking for the CTAAAG Tuesday at 11:00 in Maryam. I’ve been assured that the talk is introductory.

I’m looking for speakers for mid may. Please let me know if/when you would like to speak, or when you want me to invite someone.

Best,
Thomas

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.
