DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/BilTop/105/"
 >Categorification and chromatic homotopy theory</a>\nby Beckham Myers (Ein
 stein Institute of Mathematics) as part of Bilkent Topology Seminar\n\nLec
 ture held in SA 141.\n\nAbstract\nI will explain the idea of categorificat
 ion\, which is the process of replacing notions like "equality" with "equi
 valence". We will see that this naturally leads us to consider spectra\, t
 he central objects of study in stable homotopy theory. We will conclude by
  introducing the chromatic picture of spectra\, and explaining what catego
 rification has to say in this context. (No previous knowledge of homotopy 
 theory will be assumed.)\n
