K-theory of Monoidal categories: Invitation

[Grothendieck School of Thoughts]

Dear All,

We are going to have our first lecture on categorical K-theory this Saturday. With a brief introduction to the concept of Monoidal categories, the speaker, Prof. Sarang Shard Sane will talk about Quillen's S^-1S construction for them, which will allow us to define their K-theory. We will also see how this construction is related to the Plus and Q construction as discussed in the last 2 lectures. 

Monoidal categories serve an important purpose even outside K-theory, so feel free to join to know more about them. This is the first lecture on the K-theory of algebraic categories (categories with algebraic structures) and has the following position in the K-theory in totality series.

Series: K-Theory In Totality (Visit: https://gstmath.in/k-theory-in-totality/)

Part 2: Categorical K-Theory (Visit: https://gstmath.in/categorical-k-theory/)

Section 1: K-theory of Algebraic categories (Visit: https://gstmath.in/k-theory-of-algebraic-categories/)

Title: K-theory of a Monoidal Category

Time: 22nd April, Saturday, 3 pm, IST

Speaker: Prof Sarang Shard Sane

A gentle reminder for today's Lecture at 3 PM IST. This is going to be an interesting session for people interested in category theory, for it reveals a lot of geometric properties of categories with tensor products. Don't miss it if you are enthusiastic about abstract nonsense.

See you there at 3 PM IST.

Best Wishes,

Dipankar
