Spring 26 Special Session: Homological Algebra Mini-Course

Starting from April 4, we will hold a one-month mini-course on homological algebra.

We will meet 4:00-6:00 PM EST. The meeting location is Smith Hall 204. If more people are interested in this special session, we can arrange to meet on Zoom.

Here is a tentative syllabus:

  • Spectral sequences
  • Sheaf cohomology
  • Derived functors and derived categories
  • Triangulated categories and stable infinity-categories
  • Cohomology operations and Steenrod squares
  • (Optional Application:) Lie algebra (co)homology and Hochschild-Serre spectral sequences
  • (Optional Application:) Floer homology

Currently we have four speakers, and if you are interested in contributing a talk we are happy to make arrangements. We will have dinner after each talk every week. A more detailed syllabus, including references (mainly research papers) will be provided shortly after, along with the title and abstract of each talk and (non-guaranteed) typed lecture notes.
