Condensed sets

Abstract: I'll give an introduction to the category of condensed sets, whose objects are similar to topological spaces but whose formal properties are similar to those of the category of sets. I'll give the definition, explain the relation to topological spaces, and sketch how one can make some computations. This is joint work with Peter Scholze.
