Title: A brief introduction to the stable homotopy category
Abstract:
The talk will begin with some stable phenomenon that guides us to the Spanier-Whitehead category, which has its own interesting properties. Next, we'll explore how the Brown representability theorem brings in the idea of Spectra and, as a consequence, gives rise to the stable homotopy category.
