Projects range from applied category theory to logic, programming languages, and science, technology, and society. Specific topics for 2025 include, but are not limited to: Computational category ...

And the course feels like it’s mostly converging with any other set theory course, just with the special feature that everything remains resolutely isomorphism-invariant. This week we constructed N ...

A category theorist might imagine that a chapter with this title would be about constructing colimits, and they’d be half right.

The Octoberfest is a noble tradition in category theory: a low-key, friendly conference for researchers to share their work and thoughts. This year it’s on Saturday October 26th and Sunday October ...

Are you interested in using category-theoretic methods to tackle problems outside of pure mathematics? Then you might like the Adjoint School. You’ll work online on a research project with a mentor ...

Thurston’s paper Shapes of polyhedra and triangulations of the sphere is really remarkable. I’m writing about it in my next column for the Notices of the American Mathematical Society. Here’s a draft ...

W. P. Thurston, Shapes of polyhedra and triangulations of the sphere. Let me describe one of the key ideas as simply as I can. If you cut out the yellow shape here, you can fold it up along the red ...

Earlier this month the Mathematics Institute at Uppsala University hosted a conference called Categorification in Algebra and Topology, clearly a theme close to our collective heart. As yet there are ...
