International Category Theory Conference
CT 2006
June 25 - July 1, 2006
White Point, Nova Scotia
http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/ct2006/
* * *
The International Category Theory Conference (CT) covers all areas of
pure and applied category theory. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to: higher dimensional categories, categorical logic,
applications of categories in algebra, topology, combinatorics, and
other areas of mathematics, applications of category theory to
computer science, physics and other mathematical sciences. Previous
meetings in this series were held in Vancouver (2004), Como (2000),
Coimbra (1999), Vancouver (1997), Halifax (1995), Tours (1994), Isle
of Thorns (1992), Montreal (1991), and Como (1990).
CT 2006 will be an active research-oriented conference, in something
of an "Oberwolfach style". The seaside setting will offer more
opportunities for informal discussion and collaboration in the
evenings than might be the case in an urban setting. There will also
be many opportunities for recreational activities.
All those interested in category theory and its applications are
welcome.
LOCATION:
The CT 2006 conference will be held at the White Point Beach Resort
(http://www.whitepoint.com/). White Point is a seaside resort in Nova
Scotia (Canada), about 100 minutes' drive from Halifax.
The conference venue offers a choice of accommodation, both in
comfortable finished cabins and in "hotel-style" rooms. All meals are
included in the price of the rooms. (There will be a moderate
registration fee to cover other conference costs.)
For more details on accommodations and reservations, as well as
details of how to get there, please see the conference web page.
TO GIVE A TALK:
Prospective speakers should submit an abstract of up to one page.
Abstracts should be sufficiently detailed to allow the scientific
committee to assess the merits of the work. Submissions should be in
plain text, Postscript, or PDF format, and must be sent to
ct06@mathstat.dal.ca by February 27. Receipt of all submissions will
be acknowledged by return email. Authors will be notified by March 30
of the acceptance of their talks.
BOOKING YOUR ROOM
We would like to stress that, due to the secluded rural location of
the conference, there are no convenient alternative accommodations.
White Point Beach Resort has reserved a large block of rooms and
cottages for us, but cannot hold them indefinitely; if numbers are
below expectation by late January, they may have to reduce the number
of rooms reserved. While all the rooms at White Point are very nice,
there are various different styles; booking early will assure you the
best choice of accommodation. (Should unforeseen circumstances make
it impossible for you to attend, you can cancel for a $5 processing
fee.)
