The application for this year's Talbot workshop is now live. See below for details: 2020 TALBOT WORKSHOP: AMBIDEXTERITY IN CHROMATIC HOMOTOPY THEORY Mentored by Jacob Lurie and Tomer Schlank June 21 - 27, 2020 Nacogdoches, TX (to be confirmed) The Talbot Workshop is a one week learning workshop for roughly 35 graduate students and a few postdocs. Most of the talks will be given by participants, and will be expository in nature. Topic description: A primary aim of chromatic homotopy theory is to understand the stable homotopy category by decomposing it into pieces (called chromatic localizations) which are, at least in principle, easier to understand. These chromatic localizations enjoy a certain duality property called ambidexterity, which guarantees that certain homotopy limits can be understood as homotopy colimits (and vice versa). The goal of this workshop is to explain the mathematics of ambidexterity and some of its applications. More details about the program, including a preliminary list of talks and references, can be found here: http://math.mit.edu/conferences/talbot/index.php?year=2020 Applications close on Saturday, February 1 at 11:59PM Eastern time. You can apply online here: http://math.mit.edu/conferences/talbot/index.php?pageID=application Talbot is meant to encourage collaboration among young researchers, with an emphasis on graduate students. We also aim to gather participants with a diverse array of knowledge and interests, so applicants need not be an expert in the field -- in particular, students at all levels of graduate education are encouraged to apply. As we are committed to promoting diversity in mathematics, we also especially encourage women and minorities to apply. We will cover all local expenses including lodging and food. We also offer partial funding for participants' travel costs. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail the organizers at talbotworkshop (at) gmail.com.
