Loops and little cubes

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Eric Samperton, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Tue, Oct 21 2014, 1:10PM

I'll discuss why one should care about iterated loop spaces. I'll also describe the recognition principle, which says that algebras over the little cubes operad are equivalent to an iterated loop space.
