SUMMARY:Homological algebra as a stable homotopy theory - Zhen Lin Low (Un
 iversity of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20150901T131500Z

UID:TALK60595@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Zhen Lin Low
DESCRIPTION:There is a well-known analogy between the homological algebra 
 of chain complexes of abelian groups and the stable homotopy theory of spe
 ctra. I will try to explain how homological algebra in an abelian category
  is an example of an abstract stable homotopy theory\, using the formalism
  of categories of fibrant objects. Time permitting\, I may also explain ho
 w to think about the dreaded octahedral axiom of triangulated categories f
 rom the perspective of homotopy theory.\n\nNo knowledge of homotopy theory
  (either classical\, stable\, or abstract) will be assumed in this talk.
