[Alta-Logic] Peripatetic seminar on Friday

[Florian Schwarz]

Dear all,

On Friday, September 13th we will hear from Geoff Vooys (University of 
Calgary) in the peripatetic seminar. It will take place at 1 pm in ICT 616.

Title: Saying Hello to Bicategories

Abstract: Bicategories are an important aspect of modern category theory 
and provide the first instance of ``category theory up to coherent 
isomorphism'' we see when hiking up Mount Higher Category Theory. In 
this talk I will introduce the notion of bicategories, what we can do 
with them, and explain some of their basic properties. There will also 
be many, many examples presented in order to both show people who are 
first becoming introduced to bicategories what flavours in which they 
can arise and also to keep the talk (somewhat) grounded.

This will be a 2 part talk on Friday Sept 13th and Friday Sept 20th.

You can get all the info at logic.ucalgary.ca.

Hope to see you all there!
All the Best,

Florian Schwarz
