Title: Operads and Infinite loop space theory
Time, Day and Date: 11:30 a.m, Wednesday 28th August.
Venue: Ramanujan hall
Host: Rekha Santhanam
Speaker: Sahin Mandal
Abstract: In this series of talks we will define Operads and discuss their

Barratt-Priddy-Quillen theorem and discuss uniqueness theorem for infinite
loop spaces machines as proven by May and Thomason.
