The videos of the recent conference organized by the Grothendieck Institute at the Institut Henri Poincaré are now available from the Institute’s YouTube channel:
The event consisted in a round table with Alain Connes, Johanna Grothendieck and Laurent Lafforgue, moderated by Stéphane Dugowson and preceded by two brief presentations by Mateo Carmona, Coordinator of the Centre for Grothendieckian Studies, and myself.
Enjoy the videos!
The video of my recent talk at the Higher Structures Seminar is now available:
The videos of the conference in honour of Grothendieck held in May at Chapman University are now available from Youtube.
My own talk at the conference was entitled “The unifying ‘notion’ of topos“:
The slides can be downloaded here. A written text of my presentation will be available soon.
The videos of the talks at the recent school “Unifying themes in Geometry” are now available on YouTube, with links from the conference website. From the website you will also be able to download the slides used during the presentations.
Enjoy the talks!
I am glad to announce the first version of our joint work with Riccardo Zanfa on relative toposes:
Relative topos theory via stacks
Here is the abstract:
We introduce new foundations for relative topos theory based on stacks. One of the central results in our theory is an adjunction between the category of toposes over the topos of sheaves on a given site (C,J) and that of C-indexed categories. This represents a wide generalization of the classical adjunction between presheaves on a topological space and bundles over it, and allows one to interpret several constructions on sheaves and stacks in a geometrical way; in particular, it leads to fibrational descriptions of direct and inverse images of sheaves and stacks, as well as to a geometric understanding of the sheafification process. It also naturally allows one to regard any Grothendieck topos as a ‘petit’ topos associated with a ‘gros’ topos, thereby providing an answer to a problem posed by Grothendieck in the seventies. Another key ingredient in our theory is a notion of relative site, which allows one to represent arbitrary geometric morphisms towards a fixed base topos of sheaves on a site as structure morphisms induced by relative sites over that site.
We shall progressively release expanded versions of this text contaning new developments in the directions sketched in the introduction.
This work has been recently presented at the conference Toposes online:
The following video focuses on the specialization of the fundamental adjunction in the setting of presheaves (or discrete fibrations):
The slides and videos of talks and courses given at the recent event Toposes online are now available from the conference website.
Thanks again to all the speakers at this event, who have allowed us to set up a very rich and varied programme, and to IHES for making the videos available on its YouTube channel!
Feel free to engage in discussions on the content of talks in the relevant section of the Around Toposes forum. Looking forward to seeing many of you there!
The video of my yesteday talk on relative toposes is already available from YouTube:
Thanks again to the organizers for their invitation, and for making the recording available so quickly!
