An added attraction: at 16:00, there will be a colloquium:

    Don Zagier, "Modular forms and black holes: from Ramanujan to Hawking".

Our seminar will finish in time for participants to attend Zagier's talk,
which is at Edinburgh's School of Maths.  Locals will be there to guide you.

All are welcome!  If you wish to attend, or would like to join us for
dinner afterwards, please email Tom.Leinster@ed.ac.uk.

Thanks to the Glasgow Mathematical Journal Trust for financial support.

Best wishes,

Scottish Category Theory Seminar organizers:
