Geometry and Topology Seminar: November 8, 2024
Speaker: Valentina Zapata Castro (University of Virginia)
Title: A monoid can be interpreted as a category with a single object, where the morphisms correspond to the elements of the monoid.
Extending this concept to higher categories, in this talk I will explore the relationship between complete Segal spaces with a monoidal structure and complete Segal Theta_2-spaces, considering an approach capturing the idea of having a single object that aligns with the
nature of the previously mentioned work. In this talk, I will not assume any prior knowledge on Segal or Theta_2 spaces.
