Speaker: Jonathan Campbell

Brief Description:
Special Note:
Abstract:
Topological Hochschild Homology (THH) is an invariant of ring spectra related both to K-theory and topological field theories. In this talk I'll state and prove a theorem concerning the relationship between THH and Koszul duality. I'll introduce the necessary definitions, and in particular say what I mean by "Koszul duality". I will also introduce some infinity-categorical background that will be necessary for the proof. Finally, I'll discuss some related results that I believe to be true, and applications of the work above to topological field theories.Date: Monday, October 29, 2012
