Title: Metric techniques for triangulated categories
Time, day and date: 4:00:00 PM - 5:00:00 PM, Wednesday, July 16
Venue: Ramanujan Hall
Abstract: Neeman has recently introduced certain techniques for triangulated categories which are analogous to notions related to a metric space. These techniques have been used to prove many interesting results in algebraic geometry, including settling several conjectures. In this talk, I will try to give some motivation, and an overview of these techniques. If time permits, I will also talk about some new representability theorems which have been proven using them.
