Masterclass: Exit paths and stratified homotopy types

University of Copenhagen
24-28 June, 2024

The stratified homotopy theory of space and exit path categories have gone through major development in recent years. They are becoming powerful tools in other parts of mathematics like higher algebra, K-theory, geometric representation theory and symplectic topology. The purpose of this masterclass is to discuss recent developments in different aspects of the theory and illustrate interesting examples of application.

A limited number of funding is available for 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 21/04/2024. If you apply for financial support, you will get further information later on.
