[Alta-Logic] Peripatetic seminar on Friday

[Florian Schwarz]

Dear all,

On Friday November 1st we will hear from Alice Rolf (University of 
Toronto) in the peripatetic seminar. It will take place at 1pm in ICT 616.

*Title:* An Introduction to Embedding Calculus and the Role of 
Automorphisms of the (Framed) Little Disk Operad

*Abstract: *Embedding calculus is a powerful tool which is useful in 
making quantitative and qualitative conclusions about the topology of 
embedding spaces. In this talk, we will give  a geometric description of 
the fiber of $\operatorname{Emb}(M,M) \rightarrow T_\infty 
\operatorname{Emb}(M,M)$ using smooth structures as well as an algebraic 
description of its delooping using automorphisms of the little disk 
operad. In the second part of the talk, we will describe some known 
properties of that automorphism space and will then explain some ideas 
that go into the proof of showing that the endomorphisms of the framed 
little disk operad agree with the automorphisms.

Hope to see you there!
