Midwest Topology Seminar

Northwestern University

March 10, 2012

Speakers

10.00AM Emily Riehl Harvard University Lifting properties and the small object argument

11.30AM John Francis Northwestern University Factorization homology and low-dimensional topology

2.30PM Mark Behrens MIT Exotic Spheres via Topological Modular Forms

All talks are in Swift Hall 107, with coffee and a light breakfast before the first talk. Immediately following the last talk, there will be a reception in Harris Hall 108. The math department is in Lunt Hall and there is parking in the lot just north of Lunt.

Note: Swift Hall is immediately east of Lunt Hall. Don't confuse Swift Hall with Annie May Swift Hall, which is further away.
