Masterclass: Continuous K-theory, dualizable and rigid categories

University of Copenhagen
10-14 June, 2024

The masterclass aims to introduce the participants to new methods in, and applications of algebraic K-theory, based on Efimov's recent breakthroughs about dualizable categories and localizing motives. The masterclass will consist of three lecture series by Dustin Clausen, Alexander Efimov and Thomas Nikolaus, shedding light on different aspects of continuous K-theory, dualizable and rigid categories. This will be accompanied by informal discussion sessions in which the participants can discuss the material and exchange ideas.

Limited financial support will be available for some participants.

Venue and transportation

The conference/masterclass will take place at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. See detailed instructions on how to reach Copenhagen and the conference venue.

Tickets and passes for public transportation can be bought at the Copenhagen Airport and every train or metro station. You can find the DSB ticket office on your right-hand side as soon as you come out of the arrival area of the airport. DSB has an agreement with 7-Eleven, so many of their shops double as selling points for public transportation.

A journey planner in English is available.

Accommodation

We kindly ask the participants to arrange their own accommodation.

We recommend Hotel 9 Små Hjem, which is pleasant and inexpensive and offers rooms with a kitchen. Other inexpensive alternatives are CabInn, which has several locations in Copenhagen: the Hotel City (close to Tivoli), Hotel Scandinavia (Frederiksberg, close to the lakes), and Hotel Express (Frederiksberg) are the most convenient locations; the latter two are 2.5-3 km from the math department. Somewhat more expensive – and still recommended – options are Hotel Nora and Ibsen's Hotel.

An additional option is to combine a stay at the CabInn Metro Hotel with a pass for Copenhagen public transportation (efficient and reliable). See information about tickets & prices.

Registration

A limited number of funding is available for participants. The deadline for applying for funding is 14/04/2024. If you apply for financial support, you will get further information later on.
