Mapping Spaces and TQFT

Talk by Dr. Nikita Markarian

Date: 18.11.10  Time: 15.15 - 16.45  Room: ETH HG G 43

For an algebra over the operad of chains of little n-discs and a compact n-manifold one may define a complex, that may be considered as a homology theory of algebras over chains of n-discs. We shall discuss this construction, its generalisation and application to mapping spaces and TQFT.
