March workshop on polynomial functors

March workshop on polynomial functors

[David Spivak]

2022 WORKSHOP ON POLYNOMIAL FUNCTORS


At the Topos Institute and online via Zoom
2022 March 14 – 18 (UTC)


https://topos.site/p-func-workshop/


Participants will learn background material and hear the latest progress on
polynomial functors. The main topic is the notion of polynomial functors in
locally cartesian closed categories, as employed in logic and type theory
(the theme of the 2021 Workshop on Polynomial Functors). However we also
include a tutorial and talks on the notion of polynomial functors in the
sense of Eilenberg and Mac Lane, hoping to uncover connections between
these two notions.

Talks will be recorded for posterity.
