Maxime Ramzi (University of Münster)— Rigid commutative algebras and a generalized 1D cobordism hypothesis
Baez and Dolan's cobordism hypothesis, in dimension 1, describes the free symmetric monoidal infinity-category on a dualizable object as a certain cobordism category. It's only reasonable to try and guess what a generalization of this may loo…

Kensuke Arakawa (Kyoto University) — On the equivalence of two approaches to multiplicative homotopy theories
Locally presentable (∞,1) categories admit two popular models: Presentable quasicategories and combinatorial model categories. Building on the foundational work of Dugger and Lurie, Pavlov proved that their associated (∞…

Pablo Bustillo Vazquez (Northwestern University) — Fully-Dualizable and Invertible E_n-Algebras
The easiest source of fully extended TQFTs is found in E_n-algebras: for any symmetric monoidal category V and E_n-algebra A in V, one automatically obtains an n-dimensional TQFT given by factorization homology. Sometimes, however, these TQFTs can b…

This semester's topic is higher and derived differential geometry. We aim to cover sufficient background to understand the definition of a connection on a principal ∞-bundle in the paper "Symmetries and Higher-Form Connections in Derived Differential Geometry" (Feb 2026) by Bunk, Müller, Nuiten, Szabo.
The first talk will be an introductory talk, discus…

Mayuko Yamashita (Perimeter Institute) — Topological elliptic genera
There is a classical notion of elliptic genera, which assigns Jacobi forms to SU-manifolds. In this talk, I explain my work with Ying-Hsuan Lin (arXiv:2412.02298) to give its homotopy-theoretical refinements and variants, which we call “topological elliptic genera”. The codomain …

Nivedita (University of Oxford) — Bicommutant categories from conformal nets
Two-dimensional chiral conformal field theories (CFTs) admit three distinct mathematical formulations: vertex operator algebras (VOAs), conformal nets, and Segal (functorial) chiral CFTs. With the broader aim to build fully extended Segal chiral CFTs, we start with the i…

Sean Sanford (OSU) — Manifestly unitary higher Hilbert spaces
A key aspect of quantum theory its insistence that states evolve via unitary transformations. In order to understand the symmetries of higher dimensional quantum field theory, we need to develop higher dimensional analogues of unitarity. The language and theory of higher categories has g…

Showing the 12 most recent of 15 posts we hold for @higher_geometry. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
