Reading group on ∞-categories
This is a reading group on ∞-categories in the model of quasi-categories, focusing on basic constructions. Our main reference is “Introduction to Infinity-categories” by Markus Land, other good references are Kerodon and “Higher Topos Theory” by Jacob Lurie. We will take turns speaking - please volunteer!
We meet every Thursday at 2PM in JCMB 5323. Hybrid participation is also possible - please get in touch at Malthe (dot) Sporring (at) ed.ac.uk to be added to the mailing list.
The reading group is organized joint with Willow Bevington and Adrián Doña Mateo.
