algebraic K-theory

[Prof. Dr. Oliver Röndigs <oliver.roendigs@uni-osnabrueck.de>]

Dear colleagues,

this is the announcement of the workshop

Combinatorial Categories in Algebra and Topology

which will take place November 22-24, 2018, at Osnabrueck University.
This workshop concerns prominent indexing categories with applications
to interesting problems in commutative algebra and algebraic topology.
The prime example sparking our interest is the work of Snowden, Church, Ellenberg,
and others on GL-structures and FI-modules, which involves variations on categories
of finite sets and injections. These occur prominently in algebraic topology whenever
algebraic structures up to homotopy have to be encoded. Our aim is to bring researchers
with different backgrounds but a common interest in special indexing categories together
and catalyze a fruitful exchange. Invited speakers include:

Rob H. Eggermont (Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands)
Moritz Groth (University of Bonn, Germany)
Javier J. Gutiérrez (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain)
Henning Krause (University of Bielefeld, Germany)
Liping Li (Hunan Normal University, China)
Ieke Moerdijk (University of Utrecht, The Netherlands)
Uwe Nagel (University of Kentucky, USA)
Dang Hop Nguyen (Hanoi Institute of Mathematics, Vietnam)
Steffen Sagave (Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands)
Stefan Schwede (University of Bonn, Germany)
