Mark your calendars for the 13th!

Tomorrow, at 1pm MT/ 12pm PT, Florian Schwarz will be talking about the adjunction between tangent categories and Cartesian differential categories for the University of Calgary Faculty of Science Peripatetic Seminar series.

Visit https://tinyurl.com/pimscalgary for location/Zoom details.

Tangent categories are a categorical generalization of the category of manifolds by having maps like the projection and the zero-section of the tangent bundle that fulfill certain relations. With a similar strategy, Cartesian differential categories generalize the category of finite-dimensional R-ve...
